MIT Energy Initiative and the Chemical Engineering Communication Lab are hosting a workshop for grad students who supervise UROPs on energy research. 

In this brief virtual event, we’ll go over the building blocks of an effective research proposal, and how you can mentor your UROPs when they sit down to write one.

• Who: You! (If you supervise UROPs on energy-related research)
• What: A workshop that will teach you about successful UROP proposals at MITEI 
• When: Tuesday, January 25th, 10:00-11:00AM.
• Where: https://mit.zoom.us/j/99432387372 
• Why: Because writing proposals isn’t intuitive, and if you already knew how to help your undergrad write an amazing proposal, you wouldn’t be here. 

RSVP: It would be nice if you RSVP’d to us, but just showing up is also ok!

Additional Information: 

We're actually looking for grad students to act as readers for our proposals, especially because YOU are content experts in ways that we’re not (energy is highly interdisciplinary, and no one can have disciplinary expertise in everything!). At most, you’d read 10 proposals per term, but in reality, the number is probably closer to 5 for large departments (e.g., Course 2) and as few as 1 for smaller departments. 

Don’t hesitate to reach out to Rachel Shulman, MITEI Academic Coordinator, with any questions.
