The Office of Research invites faculty to the annual Research Orientation, an opportunity to learn about research resources, programs and facilities, and to meet with Office of Research staff.  Although the event was developed to welcome new faculty to UGA as part of the “Keys to UGA: New Faculty Academy” series, all faculty and researchers are welcome to attend. Registration is required.

This information session will be immediately followed by breakout groups for extended discussion and Q&A, focusing on:

  • Writing, submitting, and managing grants and contracts
  • Programs to support research and collaboration
  • Research integrity, safety and compliance
  • Industry engagement, entrepreneurship, and innovation
