ATTENTION FACULTY AND STAFF
Disclaimer:
We will make every effort to approve applicants; however, the submission of a request
does not automatically obligate the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs, as
approval is based on the availability of funds.
This program does not allow for training strictly to enhance competence in a specific
piece of equipment or software. The goal of the program is to promote networking with
governmental/private funding agencies that would directly lead to submission of a
proposal/grant application.
While the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs encourages professional
development aimed at enhancing operational and specific knowledge in equipment or
software utilization, the federal funds provided for this program cannot be used for
these opportunities.
In some instances private vendors will promote their products through grant programs.
In such cases, the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs will consider the
provision of technical assistance grants, if it is clearly spelled out and documented by
the vendor that participation in the workshop is directly tied into a funding opportunity
with that company.
