Every scientist has heard of "back of the envelope" calculations, and many have had the experience of sketching out ideas for a project or grant proposal on the back of an envelope. The University of Alabama-Birmingham's School of Public Health has taken this idea one step further with its Inaugural Back of the Envelope Awards.
Applicants for these seed grants, which are funded from state coffers, are required to submit proposals on the backs of standard letter-sized envelopes. The department received 19 applications and made 4 awards.
