During this session, we will explore finding support for your research and creative activities through the UMass libraries and internal and external funding opportunities. We'll also answer any questions you have on strategies for grant, fellowship, and writing support. After brief presentations by panelists, we'll focus discussion on your research and creative goals and how to fulfill them here at UMass Amherst. There will be time set aside at the beginning and end of the session to mingle over coffee, tea, juice, and pastries.
