Revising
So I am pretty much done revising my final grant proposal. It has been a long stressful ride at times, but it has been worth it. I added a diagram to my paper in the introduction that specifies exactly how and why CSS mice are effective to work with. I also added a table explaining what each mouse group's diet will be over the course of the experiment. My peers noted that I didn't explain exactly how I will keep track of what each mouse is eating. I have revised this and hopefully made this section more clear. I explain in my proposal that along with weighing each mouse weekly, I will be weighing the remainder of the food given to each group weekly as well to see whether or not the mice are getting a sufficient amount of food (simply, if they are losing weight I will know they are not eating). I also revised my timeline a bit and explained how I will deal with obstacles and possible dead-ends throughout the course of my experiment. I got Dr. Drushel's signature yesterday, and I feel as though my grant proposal is ready to be turned in. Overall I am proud of my proposal, and hope that it works out and I am able to do this project or one similar to it. After seeing the experiment setup on paper, I am more than eager to hopefully get started!
