Exhibits 10:00 am - 4:00 pm, Exhibit Halls ABC Coffee Break 10:15 am - 11:00 am, Exhibit Halls ABC Career Development Center Workshop Exploring Unconventional Funding Opportunities 10:30 am - 11:30 am, Esplanade, Room 151 There is potentially money to be found for research other than the tradi tional sources of federal grants. In this session, we will discuss the differ ent stakeholders in the funding ecosystem - including industry, founda tions, and other organizations, and how to find and build relationships with those stakeholders to uncover hidden pockets of support. These could be formal programs such as fellowships that you might not have considered or known existed, or they could be informal funding streams that you catalyze via your relationships these stakeholders. Learn how to uncover these clandestine opportunities and create new ones from scratch with the right partners.
