* Sustainability: Solar energy, Clean water access, Energy from
fusion, Nitrogen cycle, Carbon sequestration
* Health: Better medicines, Health informatics
* Security: Urban infrastructure, Cybersecurity, Prevention of nuclear
terror
* Knowledge / Joy of Living: Personalized learning, Virtual reality,
Reverse engineering the human brain, Tools for scientific discovery
Students in the program will complete three one-credit GCSP seminars (GCSP 301, 302, and 401), exploring the Grand Challenges and designing a personalized program around their interests. Each student will identify GC-related experiences in research, interdisciplinary work, entrepreneurship, global perspectives, and service learning. Students who successfully complete all program requirements will receive formal designation at graduation as an NAE Grand Challenge Scholar. (Note: The program is currently under review and pending approval from NAE.)
Applications are open through March 25 (though late applications will also be considered).
Two info sessions this week: Tuesday, March 8, from 12:00-1:00pm (pizza provided!) and Thursday, March 10, from 4:00-5:00pm (cookies provided!), both in ITE 325B.

the FDA regulatory framework. The title of his lecture is “Challenges and
Opportunities in the Development of Drugs for Rare or ‘Orphan’ Diseases.” The Shriver Center is a co-sponsor of the event.

Valentine is a food and drug lawyer, who has an interdisciplinary perspective
on drug development. Mr. Valentine integrates the applied fields of biomedical
science, research methods and statistics, public policy and law, and healthcare
and public health, among others. Mr. Valentine’s concern is the therapeutic
disparity in the medications available for known “rare” diseases that affect
200,000 or fewer patients in the United States

dinner reception. At 7 PM, Mr. Valentine will conclude his lecture and engage
