This forum is designed to help you successfully launch your research career at the university. It will focus on services and resources provided by the Office of Research and Economic Development, including: internal funding opportunities for research and creative activities; research development programs; support for proposal development, grants and contracts; research compliance; communicating your research accomplishments; collaborating with the private sector; facilitating transfer of university inventions from the lab to the marketplace; the University of Nebraska Press; and the University of Nebraska State Museum. We’ll have an open discussion around strategies for building your research career that will be led by a panel of early-career faculty who will share their experiences. Forum led by Bob Wilhelm, Vice Chancellor for Research and Economic Development and the ORED Leadership Team.
