Title: Pathways to Impact: Cultivating Collaboration Among Multi- Organizational Teams
Successful teams lead to successful projects. Learn about collaborative project management (CoPM) tools and practices that put the people of the project at the center. These practices enhance team cohesion, sharpen shared understanding of goals and deliverables, and incorporate organizational cultures in order to coordinate stakeholder timelines, talent, and preferences. Explore CoPM in this workshop to cultivate your team’s collective progress and project success.
Past Events
Title: Pathways to Impact: Institutionally Coordinated Resources to Support Faculty and Staff Engaged in Undergraduate Research
Undergraduate research (UR) experiences can be transformative for students and are a vital component of preparing students for graduate programs and careers. The University of Arizona has institutionally coordinated resources to support new and existing UR programs. Hear from faculty and staff who offer support and resources including CUREs, VIPs, culturally inclusive mentor training, UR Ambassadors, internships, proposal support and funding opportunities, and more. Learn about utilizing these resources to start and grow accessible and equitable UR programs.
Pathways to Impact Symposium Series
Transdisciplinary Research: Impact that Transcends Academia
The goal of transdisciplinary research is to incorporate different academic disciplines along with the knowledge and expertise of non-academic partners including community members, practitioners, or policy makers in the process of using research to find solutions to real-world problems. UA researchers from many departments and disciplines have been successful practicing transdisciplinary research for years (sometimes using terms like community-based participatory research, engaged research, or co-production of knowledge). In this seminar, we will explore the principles and practices of transdisciplinary research and hear from UA researchers about their experiences working with external partners to generate useful and usable research that helps make a positive difference for their partners.
Please join the STEM Learning Center for a mixer on Wednesday, Sept. 18, in the Campus Store. Learn about upcoming federal funding opportunities that support research and programs relevant to Hispanic Serving Institution initiatives and STEM equity and education and connect with potential collaborators from across the university.
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a prestigious research grant to the University of Arizona, supporting an innovative Postdoctoral Fellowship program aimed at promoting educational equity and diversity in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields. The fellowship, known as the NSF Research on Educational Equity and Diversity in STEM (REEDS) Postdoctoral Fellowship, will provide exceptional scholars with an opportunity to conduct cutting-edge research and foster inclusive learning environments.
