Each Area Panel Leader will be given time at the begging of each Session for presenting the Needs of each Panel. Each Principal Investigator or registered attendee who submitted a formal Research Idea and would like to speak in support of that Idea, will be given time in turn to present. Presentations should be kept to 10 minutes, so that all Ideas can be presented in the time allotted.
The Area Panel Leader may choose to answer questions and make comments after each presentation or wait until after all presentations are made. The goal of these sessions is for lively discussion and collaboration with the intent of generating stronger Project Pre-proposals which are due back to Research by October 31st.
