Previous Participant Comments
"CORC members: Thank you very much for evaluating my project proposal. You were very helpful and supportive and I much appreciate it."

"I would like to thank you for an exceptionally well-done, very focused nine days of outcomes education. Your hospitality and attention to details made learning all the new information easier. Thank you again."

"I wanted to let you know that I have just received an official offer of reward from NIH for the proposal that I started to develop during the outcomes research workshop. I am so appreciative of the mentorship you provided to me over the course of the proposal development. It was particularly generous of you to make time to provide me with critique during the final hours before the January 1 submission amidst the holidays. I am most grateful to have had the benefit of your extensive expertise. Again many thanks."

"I had begun to work on a recently funded NIMH study before the Outcomes Conference, but the time at U of M offered me the opportunity to formulate the methodology and process. The diversity of experts and the "immersion" strategy were the most helpful aspect of the 9 days."
