GRIP4PSIThe second and final Town Hall meeting to discuss the Game-Changing Research Incentive Program for the Plant Sciences Initiative will be held on Wednesday 1/23 at 1:30pm in Hunt Library Room 4106. A Speed Networking event will be held on Friday 1/25 at the University Club at 3:00 pm. Register for both of these events here. The networking event will not include any formal presentations by participants, but to facilitate the networking process, we're asking all who are interested to submit a Powerpoint slide briefly describing themselves and their research interests. The template can be found at the GRIP4PSI website. These slides will be sent out to all registrants for the speed networking even ahead of time. Even if you are unable to attend the networking event, you may still submit a slide! In addition to being distributed to speed networking registrants, the slides will also be posted online on the GRIP4PSI website (with NCSU login required) as an aid to anyone interested in identifying potential collaborators for a GRIP4PSI proposal. Please submit your slide to me (marie_grubbs@ncsu.edu) on or before January 23rd.
