Want to gain insight on the grant review and funding process? In March 2011, the Research and Scholarship Committee of the Faculty Senate, together with the Office of the VP for Research, ORSP, and CETA, held a grant funding forum, “Shared Wisdom of UM Faculty for Success in Grant Funding: What Works” which provided an opportunity for faculty to share their collective experience and wisdom on how we as a University can improve our success in grant funding. Both veteran and junior faculty from campus participated in the panel presentations and roundtable discussions.
