Hosting a Research Forum

The Interdisciplinary Research Forum program nearly five years ago, approximately 45 events have taken place resulting in new research collaborations and funding. The Office of the Senior Vice President for Research and Innovation would like suggested topics for these programs to be suggested by faculty.

To propose a topic for consideration, approval and sponsorship by the Office of the Senior Vice President for Research and Innovation, please complete and submit this form.

Once your proposal is approved, your responsibilities as host include:

• Confirm four or five speakers (each person limited to five minutes to present) representing different aspects of the topic. These speakers should help drive the conversation for the remainder of the event.
• Provide a list of attendees to invite (at least 40 names). Our office will handle the invitations.
• Plan to assist as emcee of the event.

The Office of the Senior Vice President for Research and Innovation will handle all logistics from securing the location,  arranging for refreshments, invitations, and A/V equipment.
