Organometallics Graduate Course (Chem 516)
In the graduate Organometallics Course, I created an assignment meant to introduce students to the grant process. Students prepared NSF GRFP style proposals and turned them in. The proposals are split into two panels, where students review for the panel their proposal is not in. Each student reviews three proposals and is assigned point on one proposal to lead discussion in the panel. The students then spend a full 1.5 hour class period providing a ranked list of most to least likely to fund. I then award funding (or candy). The students can then modify their proposal before final submission. Below are the "funded" proposal winners!
