The Grantathon is an NSF-style grant competition in which teams of 3-5 people collaborate to put together a grant proposal, which will be presented to panels of UCSD faculty judges. Interdisciplinary approaches are highly encouraged to solve the problem so students from all fields of study are invited to participate.
