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 virtual orientation will feature key information and updates about starting a research program at UGA; sponsored projects, pre- and post-award; internal grants and awards; compliance, including biosafety, research safety, environmental safety, human subjects and animals; core facilities; support services and research resources; technology commercialization and startups; and more.

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