The Tufts University Center for Children (TUCC) and the University College of Citizenship and Public Service has sponsored a second year of the student projects initiative, entitled "Applied Research Projects." This year's initiative was an even bigger success - We received more than double the number of proposals from last year!! In addition, we received at least one proposal from each of Tufts' eight schools, with both undergraduates and graduate students represented: Arts and Sciences (Art History, Comparative Religions, International Relations, Philosophy, Political Science, Psychology, History, Child Development, UEP, Community Health, Visual Studies, Peace and Justice Studies), the School of Engineering, the School of Medicine, the Gerald J. and Dorothy R. Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy, the School of Dental Medicine, Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, the School of Veterinary Medicine, and the Sackler School of Graduate Biomedical Sciences.

The review panel included faculty, staff and students from Arts and Sciences, the School of Medicine, TUCC, and University College. The projects that received funding are listed in the chart below, and were showcased in a poster session on April 12, 2004.
