Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

This course is mandatory for students of the Master Evolutionary Systems Biology or Genetics and Developmental Biology, who have done their MES6/7 (lab rotation I or II (best both)) or optional for students who have done the Vertiefungsübung of MGE. Based on the results obtained in one of these 6 weeks project work, they learn to write a scientific proposal following the general guidelines of the FWF and put these in a broader context.
As the most crucial part is formulating and justifying a good scientific question, we will meet during the semester once to make sure that the questions are clear. At the end of the semester students will present and defend the proposal in an oral presentation, and have the opportunity to receive feedback before the deadline for the final proposal.

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

The students have to submit a proposal of about 10 pages and present and defend it in an oral presentation. The written proposal accounts for 50% of the grade, the oral defense also for 50% of the grade.

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

The proposal should follow the format of a typical FWF grant proposal, which will be provided on Moodle and can also be downloaded from FWF (single projects). The criteria are:
1. a clear scientific question
2. background and pilot work for the work
3. the rationale and logic of the planned experiments
4. how convincing the application is.
The oral presentation assessment will rely on the logic and rational outline of the project with the necessary background information and convincing arguments. It will be also assessed, how the student replies to challenging questions.

Prüfungsstoff

see above

Literatur

It is expected that the student reads all the relevant literature of their specific project, and uses it for the references in written and oral work.
