✦ THE BIGGER PICTURE
02 / Why this matters
Strong researchers build their skills over years. Laboratory experience, analytical reasoning, clear writing and collaboration matter long before an individual submits a major fellowship proposal.
A question worth asking: How would you explain a STEM project’s broader impact to someone who has never studied your subject?

03 / Your next step
- Read a graduate-student research profile in a field you care about.
- Record one open question that could support a future independent study.
