Sample Project Name

Summary

Here give a short (1-2 sentence) summary of what the project is about. You may want to include a nice picture (use media upload and link feature). Follow this with the following standard information:

  • Students: list names
  • Mentor(s): list name(s)
  • Other Collaborators: list names if any

Background, Specific Aims, and Significance

Here give a short 1-2 paragraph description of the problem you are solving. Explain why this is an important problem, to whom it is important, and why. Explain briefly the project's relationship to relevant prior art and other background, giving special attention to the technical context or ongoing work that you are using for your project. I.e., many of the CIS projects are part of, or rely on, ongoing research efforts here at JHU, or they use infrastructure from existing labs. Provide a short numbered list of specific aims. Something along the lines of the following.

Our specific aims are:

  1. specific aim 1
  2. specific aim 2
  3. specific aim 3

Deliverables

Give minimum, expected, and maximum specific, measurable deliverables for the project. If more than one, give a numbered list. Something along the following lines.

  • Minimum: Come up with an interesting idea
  • Expected:
    1. Develop amazing new technology
    2. Test on phantoms
  • Maximum: Use amazing new technology to repair heart defect

Technical Approach

Give a short paragraph describing your technical approach to solving the problem. In doing this, you may well want to create and refer to new pages with more detail and link to them with a suitable link. If you want to have a private link (not visible to outsiders), then see Prof Taylor. The basic link syntax for such a link would be description of private link. But we will need to set up some permissions and protections. Check with your mentor to see if this is needed.

Note that you may update this from time to time. Also, note that the more extensive discussions will be in the various reports.
