A challenging and crucial aspect of leading a research lab or program is the need to fund your research/program. Given the current competitive funding rates, this responsibility can be even more challenging. During this session, participants will hear from two academic research scientists who have learned how to finance their programs by applying for funding from diverse sources, including the National Institutes of Health, foundations, and corporate funding. This session will include: how to identify different agencies to fund your research, aligning your research questions and priorities with different funding agencies, and strategies for preparing grant applications for different funding agencies on a similar topic area.
Panelists:
- Lisa Shulman, MD, professor, Department of Neurology, University of Maryland School of Medicine (UMSOM)
- Julie Dunning Hotopp, PhD, professor, Department of Microbiology and Immunology, Institute for Genome Sciences, UMSOM
