Funders are interested in whether scientific breakthroughs can be accelerated through transdisciplinary Centers and shared infrastructure and therefore are creating larger funding mechanisms that can support these initiatives. How can you approach such an endeavor with humility, a strong vision, and enough organization, resilience, and institutional savvy to succeed? When is the right time? What resources are available to support these endeavors? This session is recommended for anyone who is interested in joining or leading a large-scale infrastructure or center proposal at some point in their career. Registration closed.  Please reach out to [email protected] for a copy of the recording.

RACC:  Success with Private Foundation Grants

Positioning Foundations as Part of Your Comprehensive Grant Funding Plan

Funding your research, scholarship, creative activity, and programs requires looking to a wide variety of funders across your career.   Private foundations often are interested in supporting work that federal sponsors may not fund.  This session will help you to understand how to best communicate your ideas to this diverse array of private funding organizations. Learn how to identify organizations with missions aligned to your goals and strategies to approach foundations successfully.  Register for the MU or attend via Zoom.

Research Advancement Academy

The Research Advancement Academy is a professional development program for faculty from across OSU to develop research leaderships skills. The goal of the Academy is to support faculty fellows successfully lead large transdisciplinary proposals & funded research programs.

We define transdisciplinary as solutions-oriented research that engages partners across disciplines and sectors to generate interdisciplinary knowledge to address critical societal challenges.

The Academy embodies themes of solutions enterprise leadership, intellectual humility, exposing implicit truths and barriers to success, and reciprocal team and partnership practices. The program consists of a series of nine workshops in Fall and Winter terms through which 20 faculty fellows will explore evidence, mindsets, tools and practices. The workshops are followed by an opportunity for fellows to apply for seed funds to pursue their solutions research and ongoing coaching and support from the Office for Research Advancement.
