Graduate fellowships

Acknowledgment We dedicate this account to the memory of David Gin, a wonderful person and truly inspiring scientist. We thank the NSF (CAREER Award CHE-0847061) for support of our work. This project also benefited from support through graduate fellowships to D.B.C.M. from Eli Lilly, the NSERC of Canada, and Bristol-Myers Squibb, as well as an Amgen Young Investigator... 

The authors like to acknowledge 3M and DuPont for their support of this work and the National Science Foundation for its support of this work through the Presidential Faculty Fellowship to CNB (CTS-9453369) and a graduate fellowship to MDG. 

Enlightening conversations with Dr. Elaine Rich (Department of Computer Science, University of Texas) are gratefully acknowledged. Mr. James Wells wrote the Pascal programs which allow input and output via mnemonic strings of characters. This research was sponsored in part by the Robert A. Welch Foundation, Research Corporation, and NSF (MCS-8122039). Additional support was provided by a National Science Foundation Graduate Fellowship to RAL. 

EWF was supported by the graduate fellowship program of the Associated Western Universities. 

Department of Commerce, under Grants 04-8-M01-187 and NA81AA-D-00009 and by the University of Alaska with funds appropriated by the State of Alaska, a Graduate Fellowship in Resource Problems from the University of Alaska and a Postdoctoral Fellowship from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (to S. H.). This publication is contribution number 5666 from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. 

Consistent with the read-analyze-write approach to writing used throughout this textbook, this chapter begins with an excerpt from a research proposal for you to read and analyze. Excerpt 11A is taken from a proposal that competed successfully for a graduate fellowship offered by the Division of Analytical Chemistry of the American Chemical Society (ACS). As is true for nearly all successful proposals, the principal investigator (PI) wrote this proposal in response to a set of instructions. We have included the instructions with the excerpt so that you can see for yourself how closely she followed the proposal guidelines. 

Graduate Fellowship Announcement (adapted from the ACS Division of Analytical Chemistry Graduate Fellowship announcement, http //www.wabash.edu/ acsgraduatefellowship/ (accessed May 31, 2005))... 

The Graduate Fellowship Committee of the ACS Division of Analytical Chemistry, which evaluates the applications and makes the fellowship awards, comprises representatives from the sponsoring companies, analytical faculty from undergraduate institutions, and scientists from national laboratories. 

A move structure for the Experimental Approach section is shown in figure 13.1. The section is organized around three key moves (1) Share Prior Accomplishments, (2) Share Preliminary Results, and (3) Describe Proposed Methodology. These moves parallel the information requested in many RFPs. For example, the ACS Analytical Chemistry Graduate Fellowship RFP (excerpt llA) prompts applicants to summarize work already accomplished (i.e., prior accomplishments and preliminary results) and to summarize work planned for the term of the fellowship (i.e., proposed methodology). Similarly, the NSF CAREER award RFP (excerpt IIC) requires applicants to provide a summary of prior research accomplishments and an outline of the research plan, including the methods and procedures to be used. The Experimental Approach section is often the most technical section of the proposal.
