  • You are also required to submit the name of a faculty member from the department in which the research will be conducted that is not connected to the project.  They will be asked to provide a recommendation on the importance of the proposed research to the discipline.  They will not be asked to answer questions specific to you or your ability to conduct the research.  As with the faculty mentor, once you send the request, an email will automatically be sent requesting that they complete the recommendation.
  • Once your recommendations have been submitted, you will receive an email confirmation.  You may also log in to check if the recommendation has been submitted.
