Through the CELS Program Development Training Series, CELS scientists, engineers and researchers develop the tools and knowledge to innovate and champion leading science and new funding programs. Monthly sessions introduce participants to the principals of program development, dive into the mechanics of successful proposal development and outline upcoming strategic opportunities and directions.
The fourth session of Introduction to Funding Opportunities is Friday, Aug. 11, 2017, from 11 a.m. to noon in Bldg. 240, Room 1404-1405.
This month’s session, “Developing New Funding Opportunities” focuses on:
- Working with strategic partners and sponsors
- Leading multi-institutional efforts
- Building and capitalizing on proof-of-concepts and momentum
- Creating new funding sources for larger projects
Senior Computer Scientist Charlie Catlett (MCS), Argonne Distinguished Fellow and Argonne Computation Institute Director Ian Foster (CELS), and Division Director John Krummel (EVS) will share their insight and expertise on creating new funding sources and working with strategic partners and sponsors.
Refreshments will be served, and time will be allotted for Q&A. Slide decks and presentation materials will be distributed to all registrants after the session.
Please register with Silvia Mulligan.
Abstract: Program development creates new opportunities and drives new scientific capabilities by accessing new funding and new funding sources, and building new long-term programs and facilities. Having a clear understanding of the funding landscape and knowing and applying best practices allows researchers to both capitalize on current funding trajectories and to develop new ones. Through the CELS Program Development Training Series, Argonne scientists, engineers and researchers will sharpen and hone their skills in support of the lab’s mission, and develop the tools and knowledge to innovate and champion leading science and new funding programs. Monthly sessions will introduce participants to the principals of program development, dive into the mechanics of successful proposal development, and outline upcoming strategic opportunities and directions.
