> One highlight of the Consortium will be a Research Roundtable, to be held
> on Saturday. This session is patterned after the MOC Division's popular
> "Cognition in the Rough" Professional Development Workshop. Roundtable
> participants-4 students and 2 faculty panelists per table-will devote 20
> minutes to providing feedback, advice, and ideas regarding each student's
> research project. On Sunday morning, from 8:00 to 11:30, editors from many
> leading journals will share their advice for crafting top-notch
> submissions and navigating the review process.

> We encourage schools to nominate students for the Consortium. To keep the
> faculty-participant ratio to an optimal size, the number of participants
> will be limited. This has been a very popular program, so apply early!
> The deadline for nominations is June 1, 2006. To apply, interested
> students must be nominated by their schools. No university can nominate
> more than two students, and each doctoral program is limited to one
> nomination. Universities with multiple departments seeking to send
> students need to coordinate their nominations. In making the decision to
> accept students, preference is given to those who have made the most
> progress toward completing their Ph.D. program. The Consortium is not open
> to those who have already completed their Ph.D.
>
> Applications should be sent by the department representative who nominates
> the student and should include the following in the body of the email:
> the nominee's name, address, e-mail address, phone and fax numbers, name
> of affiliated school and university, and a statement by department
> certifying nominee's completion of doctoral coursework and comprehensive
> exams by August 1, 2006. Also attach the following three items in your
> e-mail: (1) a brief letter from a faculty member providing a general
> appraisal of the nominee, including an assessment of his/her progress
> toward a dissertation defense, expected defense date, and subject of
> dissertation, (2) one-page bio summarizing the nominee's contact
> information, research and teaching interests, and publications. This
> one-page bio will be distributed among consortium participants, and (3)
> 3 - 5 page (typed and double-spaced) summary of student's research
> project. This summary should include: research question, rationale,
> hypotheses / propositions, (proposed) methods (if applicable), and results
> (if applicable). Once roundtable assignments are made, the Consortium
> organizers will distribute research summaries to members of each
> roundtable.
