Fall 2016 RESEARCH FOCUS WORKSHOPS: Developing a Culture of Research- building a community of support for faculty led research efforts
The Office of Research and Sponsored Programs (ORSP) will be holding a series of focus groups/workshops with faculty this coming October to learn more about your research interests and help you plan your creative, scholarly and scientific activity. The aims of the meetings is to have an open forum about the potential for developing a more inclusive and active culture of research at UM Flint and the development of new best practices for supporting research and research capacities.
Ken Sylvester, the new director of research, is interested in your feedback on important opportunities and challenges, on ways to understand existing and new research interests of faculty, and how to turn individual research interests into areas of strength, collaboration and ongoing externally funded research. Attendees will have the opportunity to write a paragraph length statement of their current and future research interests, and explore strategies for funding their research.
Workshops will be held at 1:00-2:30 pm on Tuesday Ocotober 4 (Tuscola Room), Friday October 28 (Michigan B), and Wednesday Nov 2 (Happenings-UCEN). Click here to register.
