The workshop series will provide information and training on the full research lifecycle, including proposal development, post-award management, hiring lab staff and best practices in lab management. While the series will be especially helpful for new/junior faculty, the workshops will include information and resources useful to investigators at all levels.
Each workshop will include presentations and discussions from a panel of experts, with a focus on practical advice you can use to navigate different aspects of the research and creative process. Approximately 30 minutes of each session will be reserved to address your questions and concerns.
