Consultant Letter and Biosketch for Strategically Focused Research Network

A consultant contributes to the scientific development or execution of the project in a discrete way. Typically, a consultant has a doctoral or other professional degree. A consultant may provide discrete services which are performed in a limited window of time or occasionally contribute a specific method/technique/analysis or materials for the project.

A consultant must provide a letter and biosketch, as outlined below.

1. Letter - Provide a brief overview of the consultant's qualification  and experience; a description of specific service to be provided for the project; amount of time to be devoted and commitment relative to the proposed research project. (2-page maximum)
