The Office of Research Development is hosting an original series of five webinars, Navigating the New Horizon: Research Strategies in a Changing Federal Landscape, in the Fall semester. Participants will learn timely insights, strategic guidance, and practical tools to align their work with emerging opportunities.
Each session will explore key themes such as policy impacts on federal research agendas, how to respond to restructured priorities, and how to expand funding portfolios beyond traditional streams including foundation grants and corporate partnerships. This series will help researchers anticipate change, respond strategically, and diversify their portfolio in a rapidly shifting environment.
