The Value of Participating in Research Centers and Institutes
Tuesday November 17th
11:00am-12:15pm, Westside A
Conducting research need not be a lonely or silo-ed endeavor. Let's pick up the excitement and stimulation through our Research Centers and Institutes. Centers and Institutes can provide and leverage resources to assist its faculty in acquiring grants and securing research resources (labs, staff, funds, etc.), and afford organizational flexibility. In addition, Centers and Institutes often focus on societal problems, providing a community of practice for like-minded researchers, which facilitates collaboration in research and promotes continued learning. Our guest speakers for this Forum include directors of Centers with the College and within USF.
