Paragraphs 5 and 6 should read:

important to the research topic proposed.  The project's research

design and methods and its significance and originality should be

defined.  The sponsor should have expertise in the content and

methodology in the proposed research.  The sponsor's statement should

show knowledge of the applicant's plan as well as a description of

resources available.  If the sponsor does not have total expertise, a

cosponsorship should be included with expertise in the content and/or

methodology proposed.

 

Paragraph 7 and 8 should read:

 

Level 3 - The applicant has completed course work.

 

The specific review criteria will be the same as for Level 2

applicants except for:  1) the research project should be defined and

detailed with a well-developed research design and methods section

and 2) the inclusion of dissertation committee members and their

areas of expertise, as well as the university's resources in the

sponsor's statement.
