Research Notes (RNotes)

The purpose of Research Notes is to give students and postdocs an opportunity to present, in an informal setting, the best research underway within the network. Research Notes are snapshots of research, often but not necessarily, at an early stage.

Research Notes submissions are not formally reviewed, but they do undergo a collegial, double-blind screening process by a committee of student reviewers; this does not preclude subsequent publication in the peer-reviewed literature.

The Research Notes session is open to submission by all HQP at GRAND.

Research Notes co-chairs, Neesha Desai, Noreen Kamal and Gregor Miller, will work with up to 12 Area Chairs (AC), as well as a team of HQP Reviewers. HQP Reviewers are those who have submitted a poster and/or Research Notes submission.
