What other kinds of support does the Center provide?
We can provide support by:
Providing space: Currently members can arrange to use our office in
219 Huff. This space includes a conference room with video-conferencing capabilities
and a work space for members visiting Huff Hall. In the future, the new addition to
Huff Hall will include space dedicated to the Center. Members will have access to
this space.
Locating funding: We can conduct searches for funding of projects
you wish to propose.
Locating research partners: We can help find the "missing link" for
your multi-disciplinary research team.
Locating subject pools and community partners: We are building
relationships with the community and can help you find community resources for your
multidisciplinary projects.
Providing educational and networking opportunities: Our annual
Symposium is an example of the kinds of educational events we sponsor.
