Each team has submitted a written research proposal. These are available on the U" drive for everyone in the program to view. Go to the "_General" subfolder of the "_MathBio File Area." In there you will find a "2007 Research Proposals" subfolder that contains a PDF file with the presentation schedule and all the team proposals. Proposals are ordered according to presentation order.

The document is 80 pages long, so think twice before printing it out. If you do choose to print it out, it's formatted to be printed double-sided. (There are blank pages inserted strategically so that each proposal begins on an odd-numbered page.)

Everyone should come to the presentations on Thursday having viewed the written proposals and with good questions for the presenters.
