Pollination Events

Pollination events and workshops focus on building skills, knowledge and capacity so that U-M can strengthen the deep bench of diverse faculty ready to apply when big opportunities arise.

Events support researchers with varying levels of experience and awareness of requests for proposals. Events convey information about how to form strong teams that design and deliver proposals that are highly competitive for large-scale external funding opportunities.
