| Chancellor King to give keynote at research symposium |  |
|||||||||||
By Susan Barker Nearly 200 scientists and representatives from funding agencies, including SUNY Chancellor Robert L. King, are expected to attend the University’s first-ever research symposium March 6 and 7. King will give the keynote address Wednesday for the symposium, “Destination Discovery: Unleashing Your Research Potential.” Sponsored by the Division of Research, the program will focus on funding trends and opportunities and explore ways to enhance the success of individual and collaborative research projects. “This important symposium will offer us the occasion to identify new opportunities, network with other institutions and our federal agency representatives, and explore new directions for the future growth of our own research programs and research programs throughout the state,” said Frances E. Carr, vice president for research. “It is our way of helping to set a course in New York higher education that provides for the sharing of ideas, the genesis of new knowledge and the coalition of new partnerships.” Among those attending are representatives from the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, the U.S. Department of Energy, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the Department of Defense/DARPA, the U.S. Department of Education, the National Endowment for the Humanities and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. All participating agencies will offer one-on-one consultations. Registered Binghamton faculty will attend the symposium for a reduced fee of $20, including meals. In addition to King, other SUNY officials expected to attend are Matthew Behrmann, senior vice president for external affairs, and Michael Luck, vice president for philanthropy and alumni affairs. Among the topics scheduled to be covered are: • Building relationships with private foundations; • The peer review process; • “Shaking the hand that feeds you”: building relationships with sponsors; • Federal technology programs: opportunities for collaboration with industrial partners; • Research and funding opportunities for the social sciences; • Rethinking and reframing the humanities: sponsored projects and community partnerships; • Realities of start-ups and spin-offs; and • Developing a global perspective: international partnerships and collaborations. A poster session featuring opportunities for cross-disciplinary and cross-institutional partnership and collaboration will be held in the Mandela Room in conjunction with the first day of the symposium.
