Last Minute -- 12:00pm today webinar on "Navigating the Current Funding Landscape"-- non-UMBC

Hi All,

An  webinar today on the current funding landscape which may be of interest to some.  It's hosted by Betty Lai who wrote the book The Grant Writing Guide.  https://scholarfoundations.com/index

Best,

John

How do you navigate the current funding landscape? How do you build a career today? There's no single right answer, but it helps to hear from different experts.

Join  Betty Lai for a free webinar on Friday, February 13 from 12 - 1pm Eastern to learn from Dr. Laura Namy. Dr. Namy has a storied career. She's served as: a full professor at Emory, an NSF program officer, an NIH study section member, Executive Director of the Society for Research on Child Development, and as an Associate Commissioner within the Institute of Education Sciences. She's seen the changes happening with funding, and she's also navigated careers in and outside of academia.

I'll be asking Dr. Namy about her career path, her advice for scholars, and you'll have a chance to ask questions. The webinar will not be recorded, to make it easier for people to ask their questions about the current state of funding and science.

If you know someone who'd want to attend, would you mind forwarding them this email? Thanks for reading and believing that scholars deserve support for incredible ideas.

Betty
