On behalf of North Carolina Coalition for Defense Research (NC CDR) (an informal collaboration of university-based research entities coordinated by the NC Military Business Center), The Institute for Convergent Science and Innovate Carolina at UNC Chapel Hill will host a 90-minute hybrid seminar “Unlocking Defense Funding for Researchers” to explain why you may want to consider DoD funding for your research, the approach to funding and how it differs from National Science Foundation (NSF) and National Institute of Health (NIH), and how you can connect with people at DoD. A Q&A discussion will be held after the talk.
