Virtual workshops on funding opportunities and research impact are offered for graduate students on April 14-15, 2022 as part of Student Research Days.
- Applying to Graduate Funding Opportunities Workshop
April 14, 10-11 a.m., via Zoom
Where can I find graduate funding opportunities? Once I have found an opportunity, how can I put together a competitive application? If you’ve ever asked yourself these or similar questions, then join Katie Pelland, senior proposal development coordinator in the Office of Research and Economic Development for this session on graduate student funding opportunities. After a brief introduction of graduate funding opportunity databases, a panel of UNL graduate student fellows from across disciplines will discuss their approaches for applying to various opportunities. Registration is required. - Research with Impact Workshop for Graduate Students
April 15, 12-1 p.m., via Zoom
What drew you to your current research question? Why do you do what you do? Far from just a personal or existential question, funding agencies are increasingly interested in the “broader impacts” of research — that is, the potential of a project to benefit society and contribute to desired social outcomes. In this session, you’ll learn about diverse approaches to broader impacts, how to leverage your strengths and values to maximize the impact of your research and why graduate school is the perfect time to begin developing your research impact identity. In other words, you’ll learn how to get funding for your research and have fun doing it! The workshop is led by Jocelyn Bosley, research impact coordinator for the Office of Research and Economic Development. Registration is required.
