How can we empower faculty to meaningfully participate in the grant process? As a small team in a large university, how can we maximize support for all campus partners while remaining true to the core mission and priorities of our institutions? "Assembling Your Toolkit" will explore the power of resource-building throughout the grant lifecycle, from concept development to post-award and beyond, as well as strategies for managing internal stakeholders with multiple priorities. In the first half of this session, presenters will share their own experiences for managing stakeholders across their institutions, while the second half is designed to be a generative, interactive Q&A where audience members will be invited to raise their own questions and encouraged to brainstorm and share their own strategies for addressing the challenges and opportunities we face in working with internal stakeholders.
