Downs Fellowship Proposal Writing Workshops

Proposal Writing Workshops

Each Fall there are 5-6 proposal writing workshops that are sponsored by the Downs Committee. They are intended to provide students with a basic understanding of research methods (quantitative/qualitative study design, epidemiology and biostatistics) and ethical principles that will enable them to write, organize, and perform a research study abroad. Although this workshop is not mandatory for applicants, attendance will be taken and considered by the Down’s Committee. In addition, only students who attend 50% or greater of the workshops will be eligible for help from the instructor on their research proposals.
