Grant Proposal - November 15
I almost forgot that we applied for a grant proposal to support the building of the hamster wheel. We applied for the Sigma Pi Sigma Undergraduate Research Award. According to the website, “The Sigma Pi Sigma Undergraduate Research Award program provides, on the basis of an annual competition among the active Chapters, calendar year grants to support local Chapter activities that are deemed imaginative and likely to contribute to the strengthening of the SPS program.” It was kind of stressful getting the grant proposal written out, because we were also doing one for the Science Day at the same time. It’s kind of hard, because you want to write the best grant possible, but it was kind of hard to know what they are looking for and if our project is going to get funded or not. But hopefully we will get funded and if we don’t, it will still be good experience for me to have worked on it. Cross your fingers. =)
