July 26-27--Professional Development and Training: North American Program Planning and Policy Academy

The North American Program Planning and Policy Academy (NAPPPA) will be sponsoring an Academic Research Funding Strategy Session at North Carolina State University in Raleigh, NC on July 26 - 27, 2011.  


I am taking this announcement down from the CHASS Blog. I have been assured by research administration folks here at NCSU that this organization provides services, at a substantial fee, that are largely replicated by our own capacities at NCSU. Any member of the faculty can avail themselves of these services.
