The program is articulated around a series of video tapes with accompanying lectures scripts. Together, the video tapes and lecture scripts form a compendium of research proposal writing technics for doctoral students and junior researchers of the highest caliber. Antonio McDaniel and W. Henry Mosley respectively from the University of Pennsylvania Population Studies Center and Johns Hopkins University Department of Population Dynamics will begin the teleconference session by officially welcoming participants and will follow-up with a synoptic view of the materials contributed by their own institutions. Clearly, the lag between questions put to the staff and answers or comments would depend on the complexity of the issues discussed. To avoid that scheduled tasks carry over and accumulate during the last days of the workshop, an effort will be made to respond to the students in real-time.
Instructors give initial reviews on submitted proposals.
