From Idea to TPG Proposal<\/h2>\n

Updates 1\/25\/26<\/em><\/p>\n

Overview<\/h3>\n

This semester-long project teaches you the research process from initial idea to fundable Theory into Practice (TPG)<\/strong> proposal. You’ll explore potential project ideas, develop research skills, and write a TPG proposal that could actually be submitted for funding.<\/p>\n

Why This Matters:<\/strong> OWU Theory into Practice Grants are a hallmark opportunity at OWU: this project gives you both the skills and confidence to pursue funded TPG projects. Many environmental careers require the ability to write grant proposals.<\/p>\n

We will use AI<\/strong> along the way, with AI Worksheets guiding your use of AI. The goal is to use AI to enhance your learning process. You will document your use of AI along the way. All OWU accounts now have access to Google’s Gemini AI. \u00a0You can access it by visiting https:\/\/gemini.google.com<\/a> in your web browser. You can, however, use whatever AI you want.<\/span><\/p>\n

All due dates on course schedule<\/a> and course Google calendar.<\/p>\n
