Lunch and Learn The Office of Research Development organizes a recurring series of educational lunchtime seminars called “Lunch & Learns.” Designed to have something for everyone, the series features speakers from diverse backgrounds and spans the varied dimensions of research development and grantsmanship. Each Lunch & Learn presents opportunities for researchers to enhance their capacities and add value to their work in ways that can ultimately increase funding competitiveness and research impact, including:
  • Seeking guidance from well-funded PIs,
  • Benefitting from the transferable experiences and expertise of fellow researchers,
  • Building skills and understanding with support from professional staff, and
  • Drawing inspiration from successful research programs and models

Lunch & Learns run from 12 noon-1p.m. on the dates specified. MSU researchers from all Colleges and stages of career are invited to attend virtually. We hope you will join us as we tap into the deep wells of research expertise that exist right here on campus… all while eating your lunch!
