How Projects are Selected
We solicit input from our member companies on what topics and projects they want to have funded within the Crisman-Berg-Hughes project. We have the faculty prepare proposals and ask the member companies to rank the proposals. As we get more companies to join Crisman, we can sponsor more projects. Typically, the money from each Crisman member company will fund 2 graduate students for 12 months.
