Faculty today face a complex array of challenges, including navigating the uncertainty of research funding. During tumultuous times, the stress of securing resources can feel overwhelming, making it difficult to maintain momentum on key projects. This interactive panel discussion, Navigating Uncertainty in Higher Ed: Research Funding Strategies, led by the National Center for Faculty Development & Diversity (NCFDD), will explore strategies for identifying alternative funding sources, sustaining progress on existing research, and adapting to shifts in the funding landscape. Panelists will share insights and practical approaches to help faculty (re)claim a sense of agency in their research while developing a plan to support their professional and personal goals. Join us for this vital conversation on how to move forward with confidence in an unpredictable funding environment.
