Overview

Welcome to the 2011-2012 Remote SMART Team Program.

There are two options for participating in the Remote SMART Team program. You can participate in the CBM-Mentored Remote SMART Team program in which CBM staff will serve as the mentor for the SMART Team. Alternatively, you can participate in the SMART Team program by working with a mentor in your area. Either option is a great experience for SMART Team students.

ALL Remote Teams should complete the qualification challenge prior to working with their researcher on their specific project.

The 2011-2012 SMART Team Qualification Model is now available!
