Are you a faculty member looking for inter-disciplinary collaborators for your next grant proposal? Do you have a great idea but need the right team to bring it to life? The RISE Network and the CAS Office of Research invite you to Pitch & Plate: Developing Collaborations and Funding Proposal Ideas. Join us September 24 from 11 – 12:30 PM in the Alumni House.
RSVP by September 19. Lunch will be provided.
The Pitch: We’ll start with rapid-fire, one-minute “elevator pitches.” Share your research passions and what you’re looking for in an inter-disciplinary collaborator.
The Plate: Over lunch, connect at dedicated tables for major funding agencies (NSF, NIH, DOE, Foundations). We’ll provide a curated resource of RFPs and program announcements to spark conversation.
The Payoff: Leave with new connections, potential team members for specific inter-disciplinary grant proposals, and a clearer path toward your next project.
To make this incubator work, we need you! When you RSVP, you’ll be asked to share 1 or 2 specific funding programs you have applied for in the past or you’re targeting. This allows us to create a shared resource library and strategically group attendees by funding agency, ensuring your conversations are productive and targeted. If you do not have specific ideas for funding yet, please sign up to attend and meet new potential collaborators!
