A great example of my research skills comes in the form of my communication theory research paper. It is a focused examination of Albert Bandura's socio-cognitive theory that better informed the research design for my Communication Theory and Research class.
This is a proposal for implementing Meatless Mondays on the NJIT campus. This document asks for a grant based on a RFP by the Lawrence Foundation. It gives background on Meatless Mondays and NJIT, and sets forth a budget and implementation timeline for the project.
