    • What research funding organizations look for in your scientific proposals

What About A Zoom Option?

There will be 2-3 sessions we will be offering with a Zoom option. This is in consideration of those who can’t attend due to organizational policies or budgets. However we strongly believe the value of this event hinges on in-person attendance and appreciate making every best effort to attend in person if you’re able.
