The Environmental Innovations Initiative is excited for our Penn Action CAFE (Collaborate, Accelerate, Foster, Exchange) workshop on preparing collaborative grants on climate change research!

As funders increasingly emphasize collaborative approaches to research projects, the workshop aims to support researchers in navigating the process of developing these collaborative proposals. Learn and talk with experts with a track record in securing collaborative climate funding. This workshop does not target specific funding schemes and will provide general advice.

Panelists: 

• Gia Boersema, Senior Associate Director, Grants (pre-award team), Office of the Vice-Provost for Research
• James McGonigle, Director of Research Support and Development, Office of the Vice-Provost for Research
• Emily Hannum, Professor of Sociology and Education, Associate Dean, School of Arts & Sciences
• Guy Grossman, Professor of Political Science, School of Arts & Sciences
• Ricardo Castillo, Assistant Professor, Epidemiology, Perelman School of Medicine
• Kristin Field, Director of Education and Inclusivity for the IoT4Ag ERC, Penn Engineering

The workshop is open to all Penn students, postdocs, and faculty interested in applying for climate-related grants.
