Who should attend
This webinar is designed for research leaders, research development professionals, technology transfer professionals, industry liaison teams, and anyone involved in promoting institutional expertise and resources to external partners.
Overview
Traditional funding sources are going through massive changes as research priorities move into a new era. The most successful research organizations are diversifying their funding sources and project collaborators. This session empowers institutions to provide more variety in their funding streams by
- Analyzing funding trends across federal and non-federal funders
- Developing robust industry-academic partnerships.
By leveraging data rich tools research leaders can move beyond lagging, fragmented information to intentional, proactive action into diversifying funding and building new partnerships.
In this webinar, we show how Dimensions and Symplectic Elements can be used to understand funding trends and highlight researchers with strong records in applied and commercial research.
