IUPUI Research On-Boarding Orientation
Target Audience: All IUPUI faculty, with special emphasis on new and junior faculty
Tuesday, October 24, 2017
9:00am - 2:00pm
IUPUI Campus Center Room 450
The Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research is pleased to host the IUPUI Research On-Boarding Orientation (ROBO) program. Participants will:
• Gain a better understanding of the IUPUI campus level research organizational structure
• Learn about many programs and services that are available to help faculty succeed in their research and creative activities
• Receive insights from current faculty about how they were able to achieve early success
• Connect with resources that are available through centers, institutes, and other research support units on campus
• Meet new research colleagues and possibly explore potential collaborations
ROBO is a comprehensive day-long event beginning with a morning session (9:00am - 11:50am) that will include an overview of all three major campus level research offices. Short presentations will be given by staff from the Office of Research Development, Office of Research Administration, and Office for Research Compliance.
Broad disciplinary roundtable discussions will be held for new and junior faculty in particular, and lunch will be provided (12:00pm - 1:00pm). These roundtable discussions are designed to be casual conversations facilitated by current faculty who have experienced early success in their careers here at IUPUI.
In addition, a resource fair will be held in the afternoon from 12:00pm to 2:00pm. This will be an excellent opportunity for all interested to engage with and gather information from center, institute, and campus unit representatives about resources, support and opportunities that can help advance faculty research programs. Getting to know what types of activities are happening in centers and institutes is a great way to make valuable connections with fellow researchers and perhaps spark interest in potential research collaborations with faculty at all ranks and across many disciplines, which is an important strategic focus for IUPUI.
