Getting Into In-House Research Grants Facilitation
Canadian Association of Research Administrators
Tuesday, September 12 at 9am PT / noon ET
Would you enjoy learning about-and helping to support-cutting-edge academic research? If so, you may be interested in pursuing a career as an in-house research grants facilitator in a university, research hospital, or regional health authority. In this 60-minute webinar, Letitia Henville will help prospective research grants facilitators learn more about this rewarding field and the possibilities offered by in-house work. This webinar will describe the political trends that have led to the emergence of research grants facilitation as a field, talk about the kinds of work that grants facilitators, editors, and officers perform, and share her top suggestions for applying for in-house jobs. The webinar will close with recommendations for new in-house research grants editors, to set them up for success in the field and in their careers.
