The Office of Research, Creative Activities and Technology Transfer has scheduled a Gear Up for Grants seminar titled “Building a Nationally Competitive Research Program at NDSU” on Thursday, Nov. 4, from 3 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. in the Memorial Union Hidatsa room.

Based on his many years as a chemistry researcher and as a research administrator, Philip Boudjouk, vice president for research, creative activities and technology transfer, will offer valuable advice on obtaining grants and building a research career. The annual seminar is geared toward newer faculty who are initiating independent research careers, but everyone is welcome.
