This free webcast by Dr. Karen Myers-Bowman, Kansas State University, and Dr. Tom Holman, Brigham Young University provides an overview of proposal review--the process, the criteria to consider, and examples of what makes for a strong (or weak) proposal.

Dr Myers-Bowman, who teaches proposal review in classes with her graduate students, will break down the parts of a proposal and evaluation of them. Dr. Holman will offer his insights as chair of the Research and Theory Section which receives hundreds of submissions each year.
