We are excited to continue our 'Research Mentoring and Discussion' track of CREATE Community Talks next Tuesday, Nov. 17th at 12:30pm in the CREATE seminar space. 

This month, we’ll focus on developing and refining ideas for papers and grants. Kevin Haudek and Danny Caballero will facilitate a series of activities designed to help you think about how to communicate your work to different audiences and strengthen the core message behind your projects. 

To get the most out of the session, we invite you to come with a brief, informal 1-to-2-minute pitch about a project you care about. This could be the seed of a grant proposal, an idea for a paper, or even a project that is still taking shape. The goal is not to have something polished. Instead, we want to create space for you to share an idea, receive feedback from colleagues, and explore ways to make it stronger.

During the forum, you’ll have opportunities to discuss your pitch in small groups, learn from others’ perspectives, and revise your ideas based on the feedback you receive. We hope you'll leave with new insights, new connections, and a clearer sense of how to move your work forward.

We look forward to seeing you there!

NOTE: This track is designed to be 'in person' however, we are recording the sessions and will make them available afterward, as many of you are not in the area.
