Research Proposal Activities in an Advanced Inorganic Chemistry Lecture at the Undergraduate Level

Resumen

With cutting edge research comes the expectation that funding is needed. Particularly in the sciences, grant funds can cover the cost of instrumentation, conference travel, summer stipends and the like. At the undergraduate level, it is essential to instill into the students the importance of finding and applying to funding opportunities (particularly for those who wish to pursue graduate degrees). While the Georgia College (GC) chemistry program currently does not have a formal “technical writing class”, here are discussed several activities that seek to expose undergraduate students to proposal writing and bettering their technical writing skills.
