For Schifter's students, that means choosing between two final projects: a mock Congressional markup on an education - related bill or
a mock grant proposal similar to Race to the Top.
In particular, we offer a Coaching Programme for ERC
proposals (especially Starting
Grants), including support in internal peer - review / mentoring by ERC awardees and senior scientists, non-scientific review and guidance in all administrative aspects by the
Grants Office and
mock interview for candidates pre-selected for interview.
