| Celebrating and growing sponsored research funding – it’s all about relationships
Like any successful relationship, building a connection with funders is about both parties bringing something to the table, each understanding the other’s drivers, rewards and challenges, and grounding all interactions on a foundation of transparency and trust. This semester, the Office of Research will help investigators explore the intricacies of funder relationships with a five-part Research Live webinar series, “How Not to Research Alone: Creating Meaningful Relationships with Funders.”
