Presentations

Each Area Panel Leader will be given time at the beginning of each Session for presenting the needs of each Panel. Each Principal Investigator or registered attendee who submitted a formal Research Idea and who would like to speak in support of that Idea, will be given time to turn to present. Presentations should be kept to 8 minutes, so that all Ideas can be presented in the time allotted.

The Area Panel Leader may choose to answer questions and make comments after each presentation or wait until after all presentations are made. The goal of these sessions is for lively discussions and collaboration with the intent of generating stronger Project Pre-proposals which are due back to Research by October 31st.
