We help PIs find interdisciplinary collaborators across the campus and in the community. To this end, we organize:
- Lighting Talks centered around certain broad themes, designed to foster connections and facilitate interdisciplinary collaboration among researchers working on these topics. See our Madison Research Club page for upcoming topics.
- Convergence Team Facilitation Meetings in response to specific calls for proposals with broad interest from the campus.
- Broader Impacts and Community Engagement Resource Fair, where JMU PIs get to meet with different JMU units and community partners who are potential collaborators and resources in interdisciplinary grant applications.
If you are looking for a partner for a grant, please reach out to us at researchdevelopment@jmu.edu or look at the list of participants from our recent lightning talk/convergence team events.
