• REPORT (800-1000 words maximum excluding abstract and references, 1.5 line spacing, 1-inch margins, balanced use of relevant visual elements such as text, diagrams, maps and tables): the report (*.pdf) should be structured into categories that include: abstract, introduction, data and methods, results and discussion, conclusion and references.

• RESUME: provide a one-page resume (*.pdf) that includes your current contact information;
• ACADEMIC TRANSCRIPT: unofficial transcript (*.pdf) indicating a minimum B+ average in overall GPA.
