The two-part Workshop consisted of an hour-long session geared to early career faculty and covered various types of early career funding opportunities, proposal support and submission services available through the Office of the Vice Chancellor of Research (OVCR), interacting with federal agencies, and addressing broader impact requirements. The second hour-long session was for a broader audience of researchers and covered proposal development as project management including how to look at each funding announcement and determine case-by-case the documentation resources available from the sponsor, why to treat each proposal as a team project that requires project management (even when you’re the only investigator), and the importance of developing task/work breakdowns even when they aren’t required by the sponsors.
