All UNT researchers are invited to participate in our Building the Research Enterprise and Knowledge Series (BREAKS) the first 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 As part of our Strategic Funding Month, we are excited to host the workshop "Program Officer Proximity: A Workshop on Establishing Meaningful Connections with Federal Funding Agencies for Research Grants." Learn from our expert panel as they share their experience and best practices for interacting with program officers. Establishing these connections with program officers allows you, as a researcher, to gain valuable insights, receive personalized guidance, and potentially increase your chances of securing funding for your proposed research. You do not want to miss this session!
