The Student coordinator will assist student research awardees over the course of their projects. Coordinators will review project proposals to familiarize themselves with the research being done. They meet with awardees in person early in the semester. Afterward, coordinators will communicate at least once a week with awardees to offer good advice, help resolve road blocks, and ensure that study progress is being made. Coordinators may also need to check in with the faculty mentors when appropriate.
