2025 Big Proposal Bootcamp Participants

These participants will undergo an 11-week program to introduce skills to do large-scale, cross-disciplinary proposals and connect to the diversity of resources of support Pitt has to offer as they develop those proposals. During the program, participants will have the opportunity to develop the outlines of a big proposal, and the series will conclude with a “pitch” competition. The winning pitch will be rewarded with a small prize they can invest in developing their project.
