Research Funding Workshop for Early-Career Faculty

Colleagues, please share this announcement with your junior colleagues--this is an excellent opportunity to learn how to use COS Pivot to find research funding opportunities, including those in the humanities and social sciences. This is the same tool we use in the Research Office to find opportunities for research funding. It's a very powerful tool, and well worth learning.
