Reminder: Nuts and Bolts of Research Funding Panel- Thursday

[Alexandria Yen]

Dear Postdocs,

Just a quick reminder that OVPR is organizing the panel: The Nuts and Bolts of the Research Funding Machine<https://mit.joinhandshake.com/events/1721104/share_preview> this Thursday, March 13, from 1:00-2:30pm ET at 45-230 Schwartzman College of Computing.

This is an in person event that will not be recorded, and the panel will consist of MIT Research Administration Services from OVPR who will discuss the internal process for federal grant submissions. This is helpful for any postdoc who is curious about the behind-the-scenes processes associated with grant funding at academic institutions. Please make sure to register here<https://mit.joinhandshake.com/events/1721104/share_preview> so this way you can get reminders for the event.

I know there is quite a bit of uncertainty right now with the federal funding landscape, and it's not the easiest time to be a postdoc. This panel won't be able to address the issues happening at MIT and beyond at this event. Please know however, there ARE resources you have access to including the Changes to Federal Research Policy<https://research.mit.edu/office-vpr/changes-federal-research-policy-information-mit-community?check_logged_in=1> page (touchstone required) and you can email specific questions to research-policy-questions at mit.edu<mailto:research-policy-questions at mit.edu> where they can try to answer your questions based on available information. If funding changes affect your career and professional development plans (ex. You suddenly need to go on the job market earlier and need to gather your materials, you're planning to switch job trajectories, etc.), don't hesitate to schedule a Handshake appointment<https://capd.mit.edu/career-advising/#alexandria-yen> with me. I'm always happy to support you in this realm of career and professional development support.

Best,
Alex
