Federal agencies and foundations are increasingly focusing on
establishing interdisciplinary RESEARCH CENTERS AT UNIVERSITIES,
particularly in STEM fields. It is important for faculty to start
PLANNING FOR THESE OPPORTUNITIES WELL IN ADVANCE, as they take much
more thought, time, and collaboration than is generally needed for
individual RESEARCH PROJECTS.This information session will provide
faculty with insights on the key characteristics of a RESEARCH CENTER,
why and when to pursue such a funding mechanism, and how early
planning and team-building can help you prepare for a center. The
session will culminate in an interactive discussion with a panel of
faculty who have research center experience.
This event is being organized by the Berkeley Research Development
Office (BRDO, a unit of VCRO), with remarks by Randy Katz, Vice
Chancellor for Research.
Space will be limited, so register now (faculty only, please).
Refreshments will be served. There will be time for networking and
follow-up conversations after the presentation and panel discussions
have concluded.
Please contact bdro@berkeley.edu with any questions.
