Faculty Advancement In Research Seminar Series

 

 

The Faculty Advancement in Research (FAIR) Seminar Series provides informal workshops and seminars to UTMB research investigators that cover the entire spectrum of proposal development activities throughout the grant lifecycle.

Its goal is to equip researchers at any stage of their careers with the know-how to develop successful grant applications, engage with a variety of sponsors, and effectively communicate their research.

Sessions are held the Second Wednesday of each month, exceptions noted.

All FAIR seminars and workshops are FREE and open to UTMB faculty, chairs, and research leaders. These events are also posted here
