Getting Started

Meeting Times:

Generally, our group has general meetings on the first Monday of each month. Individual projects/collaborations meet on their own weekly schedules (see the Charosa calendar for up-to-date meeting and event information).

How to Join a Project:

Take a look at our Projects page, and feel free to reach out to the manager of any project that interests you! Also, you can come to a general meeting anytime to connect with our group in person and learn about our ongoing projects.

How to Start a Project:

Our group provides seed funding for those looking to start projects at the interface of health, medicine, and engineering, with funding available upon request once the project is established. If you are interested in starting a project, please fill out a copy of our Project Initiation Form and send it to our officer board at charosa@umn.edu. Once contact is made, we will meet with you at an Officer board meeting to discuss your project idea. Finally, you must present your project idea at a Charosa general group meeting to recruit members.
