New! Workshop Supporting Research, Scholarship and Creative Activities
We’re excited to announce a new workshop series designed to support faculty, graduate students, and post-doctoral researchers in every stage of their research journey. Whether you're just starting out or looking to broaden your funding and collaboration strategies, these workshops will offer practical tools to help you succeed.
Funding Fridays Series Spring 2026
Grants funding can be critical to faculty careers, but difficult to pull off on your own given limited time. Join the Office of Research and your peers in a flexible, 8-session workshop series that will motivate, inform, and support your writing of grants for submission.
Stop by each session for collaborative learning that will help you stay on track for your goals or hop in for only the sessions you need. Fridays from 1 to 2:30 PM. See the list of topics and full schedule here.
Fourth session: Budgeting for Success: Writing Clear, Competitive Grant Budgets, with Megan Faulkner (Office of Sponsored Project Services - Pre-Award, Office of Research)
March 20th, at 1 PM, Beckman Hall 107, RSVP here!
