From Internal Investment to External Funding Opportunity
This interactive Lunch & Learn explores how existing internal programs, pilot projects, and institutional initiatives can be leveraged to generate competitive external funding opportunities. The interactive discussion will include the structure of existing programs, return on investment, what helps make an internal program effective and how to use existing outcomes, data, partnerships, and institutional resources to strengthen future grant submissions. The discussion will provide practical strategies for moving from an initiative from internal investment to external funding opportunity.
