Faculty who are new to the University of Delaware, as well as those who just may be new to research, are encouraged to attend “Introduction to UD Research and Scholarship,” an orientation session set for Thursday, Nov. 17, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., in Townsend Hall Commons.

The Research Office annually hosts an orientation session designed to give those who are relatively new to UD an overview of research at the University.

Faculty in attendance will have the opportunity to meet and interact with Charles G. Riordan, deputy provost for research and scholarship, and research deans from each of the seven colleges, as well as leaders in areas such as research contracts and grants, communications, computing and funding.

In addition, attendees will hear from a panel composed of early career faculty who will share their experiences launching a successful research program and lessons learned in areas ranging from finding mentors and collaborators, to proposal writing, course development, advising students and postdocs, work-life balance and service responsibilities.

Register to attend by Monday, Nov. 14, at this website. Those who have questions or difficulty with registration can contact researchdev@udel.edu.
