The OVPR invites the University of Iowa research community to the inaugural Large Grant Development Opportunity (LGDO) Symposium.
About the Symposium
The symposium highlights the progress of the inaugural cohort of LGDO Phase 1 awardees as they share how institutional investment has enabled them to develop ambitious interdisciplinary research initiatives.
Each research team will deliver a brief lightning presentation describing:
their research vision,
progress achieved during Phase 1,
lessons learned,
plans for pursuing major external funding opportunities, and
opportunities for future collaboration.
Following the presentations, attendees are invited to a networking reception to continue conversations, build new connections, and explore collaborative opportunities across disciplines.
Whether you are interested in identifying collaborators, learning about emerging research initiatives, or exploring future funding opportunities, the LGDO Symposium provides an opportunity to engage with colleagues who are helping shape Iowa's future research portfolio.
Why Attend?
The LGDO Symposium offers an opportunity to learn about emerging interdisciplinary research initiatives and connect with researchers developing the next generation of large-scale research proposals.
