The sponsored programs office hosted a research funding workshop via Zoom on April 15. It was recorded and is available for viewing online.

The two-part workshop consisted of an hour-long session for early-career faculty and covered various types of early career funding opportunities, proposal support and submission services available through the vice chancellor of research office, interacting with federal agencies, and addressing broader impact requirements.

The second hour-long session addressed a broader audience of researchers. It 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 and work breakdowns even when the sponsors don’t require them.
