COBRE Monthly Meetings
These meetings are an opportunity:
For the individual project leader to:
- Make a presentation on his or her research project as part of the preparation for writing their project report for the non-competitive renewal application;
- Allow others to assist in reviewing the data to be included in a planned manuscript submission, or,
- Practice for presentations to be given at External Advisory Committee meetings.
To welcome a guest speaker who has used our COBRE-PSF Core Laboratories to assist their study of a unique research question.
