4. Although we have not sent out the official GRFP call, it is time to start thinking about submitting a proposal to The Reilly and Roosenburg Graduate Research Fellowship Program. The Fellowship provides an RA for one semester to allow graduate students
to conduct off-campus research. Proposals will not be due until the beginning of next semester, but it is never too early to start thinking about putting together a competitive proposal. </p>
