The WSU College of Education’s annual Research Conversation series returns for the fall semester, beginning Sept. 19 at 12:10 p.m. via Zoom.

The series features research presentations from college faculty. These presentations give faculty the opportunity to engage their peers, and students through discussion on their research endeavors.

The series’ first guest, Robert Catena, an associate professor of kinesiology, will discuss his recent path to receiving National Science Foundation (NSF) funding. The process is complex, and Catena will address challenges and tips for the submission and resubmission process.

Attendees are invited to join the conversation and share their own experiences with NSF, both successful and not-yet-successful. Catena will also touch on differences between the NSF and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for proposal planning.

Other scheduled presentations include:

  • Oct. 17 — Ting Li, science education assistant professor
  • Nov. 14 — Peng He, science education scholarly assistant professor

All are invited to attend the conversations through Zoom. More information on the series, including Zoom links, can be found on the College of Education website.
