Alternative funding: When federal is not an option

Faculty share their experiences – the unique paths they took to obtain research funding. With the changing climate for federal funding, diversifying your funding portfolio could provide stability to your research endeavors. Join us to hear a faculty panel of researchers who, in some way, faced a brick wall when pursuing traditional federal sources, but successfully and creatively navigated their own approach to funding their projects. They will share the challenges they faced and their ultimate successes with state, county, industry, association, and/or private foundation funding sources.

Thursday, October 18
3:30 – 4:30 p.m.
PACCAR
RSVP! (Skype is available)

Moderator:

Karin Neuenschwander, Director, WSU Foundation Relations

Panel Members:

Dr. Dene Grigar, Digital Culture & Design, WSU Vancouver

Debra Hansen, County Director, WSU Extension – Stevens County

Dr. Joe Harding, Professor, Integrative Physiology & Neuroscience, College of Veterinary Medicine

Dr. Kevin Murphy, Assistant Professor, Corp & Soil Science
