Participants in this workshop will receive feedback from peers and MSU Research Development Specialists to help them revise a draft of their Specific Aims page. Participants will be placed in groups of three and will both give and receive feedback to improve their Specific Aims page with two other participants in the workshop, as well as from Research Development Specialists Lauren Aerni-Flessner and Sara Steenrod. The feedback received will be discussed as a group.
