Tips for project proposals
You clearly identify a public interest problem
Your Project will be led by McMaster undergrads
You should have set clear goals and objectives
Your goal should be achievable given demands of school/work/family
Your overall strategy will address how to make meaningful change
Our policy does not allow outside groups to open McMaster “chapters” through our working group process. Take a look at a potential partnership or shared programming options.
