Use CARE coursework to get your idea off the ground
|
Every Spring, I (James) teach a graduate-level course on Rehabilitation Engineering in the ME/BME departments. Many CARE members serve as invited lecturers. The main goal of the course is to write a NIH R21-style proposal and collect the pilot data for it in teams of two students. I would love to see new CARE collaborative research ideas proposed for this class where the
students can help develop your idea into a grant.
Please email me if you're interested.
