Dear Seed Grant Applicants and Partners,
Thank you for such wonderful and elaborate proposals.
Our panel of 14 judges scored each proposal on 10 broad parameters – context and collaborative approach, relevance and impact potential, feasibility and scalability, intellectual merit, future potential, gender and equity, interoperability,
risk attribute and value to Purdue. After extensive deliberation we have picked top 8 proposals for the next and the final round.
The finalists are mentioned in the table below. Congratulations to the Purdue researchers and our partners!
Next Steps:
I will get in touch with the selected team to share the feedback from judges on their proposals. These team now have to prepare a short presentation (4 slides max). The presentation will happen via WebEx on
April 2nd , 8:30am to 12:30pm. The judges panel (including partner representatives) will be evaluating each presentation to pick the final awardees.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Congratulations again! I will be in touch soon.
