Search for Research: The Race for a Microgrant is On!

There are exactly three weeks left in Search for Research and the proposals are fantastic!  It’s going to come down to the wire so we’ve listed the top 20 entries to encourage people to vote for proposals they think deserve the money and to inspire them to submit their own ideas.  The titles alone could be the names of books, Hollywood movies, kids toys or country songs, and the research proposed is even more interesting!

It’s not too late to enter the contest for your shot at a microgrant!  The winner will be determined by the total number of votes received, so you may be able to leapfrog into the lead simply by asking your friends to vote for you a few times!
