This is a group assessment. Students will collaboratively write a proposal describing their proposed design of an eDNA sampler.
Please follow the Catalyst Awards for Science Advancement (CASA) guidelines when preparing your proposal with the following changes and additions:
the Project Narrative should be 3 to 4 pages,
a statement as to which https://oceandecade.org/challenges/ the project addresses should be included in the Introduction section of the Project Narrative,
the design requirements outlined in class on January 16, 2026 should be listed and how the proposed design meets these requirements should be discussed in the Proposed Activities section of the Project Narrative, and
the Itemized Budget should include URLs for each component (see example below).
