Please join the GIFT Center for the upcoming Grants for Lunch! 

Who Cares? Sharing Your Research with Donors and the General Public

Our thriving campus is home to amazing research accomplishments that are
often known only by close scientific peers. Academic and federal grants
systems reinforce this insider-only conversation. Expressing the human and
community impact of research accomplishments to the public presents a
challenge of translation for many faculty members. Yet understanding this
impact is how the general public, charitable grantmakers, and other donors
come to care about and support research. 

What's your elevator speech? 

How do you talk about your work with your child's teacher, 

your social club, your neighbor down the street? 

How does a charitable grant proposal compare to a federal one? 

Join our panel of faculty experts as they share their experience, tips, and
strategies to help with the important task of presenting your exciting
research program to a variety of audiences. 

When: Wednesday, September 30, 2009 

11:30 a.m.-1:00 p.m.
