The Craft for Macromolecular Creativity Experiment requires team research.  Two or more faculty, each with separate funding, can propose a new team.  Most teams also have two or more students, or are trying to attract new students, but the key ingredient is two or more faculty.  The team project must take their research in a new direction.  The benefit to the student is guaranteed challenging, new research but without excessive risk since each faculty participant has a demonstrated track record and resources.  The faculty are committed to working side-by-side with the student at the outset of the project, but will hand over the reins thereafter to let the student explore and discover independently.  The faculty commit to finding outside participants in the research; these can be active researchers but some will merely participate in the student's qualifying exam and thesis defense.  This exposes the student to other views, a wider range of resources, and early contacts in the job market or academic infrastructure. 

Starred projects (top) were described in great detail when the proposal was submitted.  They are "pre-approved" but not all of them have found students. 

The process of starting a team begins with submitting a Form A and Form B. 

Form A's evolve and multiply!  Once a student fellow passes the General Exam (achieving thereby Artisan status), a new Form A should be submitted.   It can be very similar to the original, but it should indicate the provisional thesis title for the student named first.  See, for example, Spanning the In-vivo/In-vitro Gap II(Joubert)  and Spanning the In-vivo/In-vitro Gap (Thompson). 

Other new projects may yet be added.
