CORPORATE AND FOUNDATION RESEARCH FUNDING

BSOS hosted a session on "Corporate and Foundation Research Funding" in February 2022.  It was led by Ted Knight, who works in Strategic Partnerships and Research both for BSOS and the Division of Research.  The workshop covered (1) ways that investigators may need to view corporations and foundation proposals differently than other agencies, (2) opportunities to forge partnerships, and (3) examples of successful collaborations.
