The Problem

I'm trying to raise money to fund cancer research for the ACS. The american cancer society is the nation’s largest private, not-for-profit source of funds for scientists studying cancer, the American Cancer Society (ACS) focuses its funding on investigator-initiated, peer-reviewed proposals. This process ensures that scientists propose projects that they believe are ready to be tackled with the available knowledge and techniques, rather than working on projects designed by administrators who are far removed from the front lines of research. This intellectual freedom encourages discovery in areas that scientists believe are most likely to solve the problems of cancer. They are constantly looking for more and new ways to raise money for their cause, and it would be a great oppurtunity to help.

Plan of Action

1. Research paper Goal: Knowledge acquisition and literacy 2. Do the project Goal: Application of what I've learn in doing the project 3. Portfolio Goal: A reflection of my work 4. Present the final project Synthesis of the paper, the project, and journey i've taken to reach my goal.
