All UNT researchers are invited to participate in our Building the Research Enterprise and Knowledge Series (BREAKS) every third Thursday of the month. Each session will be led by a topic expert in the field in order to elevate best practices, while answering some of the most frequently asked questions by UNT researchers related to the topic. These hour-long discussions are a comfortable conversation where no question is too basic, too simple, or too complicated.   Topic This session is geared towards mid career researchers (associate professor levels & higher). Presenters Dr. Rajashi Ghosh, Chair and Associate Professor at Drexel University in the Department of Policy Organization and Leadership & UNT's Dr. Holly Hutchins (VP for Faculty Success) will lead the conversation on the nsf mid career advance program (MCA). This NSF program is an opportunity for mid-career scientists and engineers to substantively enhance and advance their research program through synergistic and mutually beneficial partnerships, typically at an institution other than their home institution. The MCA program is the only NSF program aimed at providing protected time and resources to established scientists and engineers.
