Additional RD Events and Infosessions
The Office of Research hosts a series of forums to help researchers maximize their impact through team research. This series covers a range of topical themes, bringing forward best practices, current research, funding opportunities and resources to help launch and advance research teams.
Limited Submissions Infosessions
Sometimes sponsors impose a limit on the number of proposals an institution can submit to a funding opportunity. These infosessions are for specific Limited Submission funding opportunities that must be internally coordinated to ensure that UC Davis only submits the allowable number of proposals.
