What are WoW TALKs?

The WoW TALK (What’s Our Work) Series brings together colleagues and students from disciplines associated with GW's Science and Engineering Hall—and related fields—to present new research and share ideas. These short talks (15 minutes each) are designed to introduce members of the GW community to current and exciting research projects, to initiate discussion, collaborate, share expertise, and to promote research performed in the SEH and at GW.

These talks are an opportunity to gain awareness of the different kinds of important work being done in the sciences here at GW, and can open the door for future collaboration opportunities.

Students are welcome to attend.

All WoW TALK sessions are held via Zoom when virtual and in Science and Engineering Hall B1220 when in-person.

To be considered to speak at a future session, please contact us at ccasres@gwu.edu

Published on Leave a comment on 2021 CCAS Summer Writing Groups

With summer upon us, we want to inform you of the continuation of the CCAS Summer Writing Groups that were first offered in summer 2020.  The writing groups can be designed to help you in any project you desire, for example: writing book chapters; journal papers; or applications for fellowships and grants. These would provide an ideal way to help you power through that chapter, or approach the drafting of your NSF CAREER grant in a more structured way. The idea is to start with a six-week commitment and you are free to extend the group beyond that period if the group members are finding it helpful.

In order to register your interest, please fill out the Google Form by Wednesday, June 16th and we will try to match you with a small group (3-4) of faculty with similar aims and needs. There are three types of groups (explained in the form). The group will typically meet once per week, but you are free to determine as a group whether you want to meet more or less frequently than that, how long each meeting will last, and which online platform you will use to meet.

Regular-status faculty in humanities disciplines as defined by the Columbian College of Arts and Sciences, and faculty from the Corcoran School of the Arts and Design are eligible to apply.

 

GW University Seminars Funding Program (Academic Year 2021-2022)

The University Seminars Funding Program was established to foster sustained discussion of issues that cross traditional disciplinary boundaries among members of the GW faculty, possibly including their distinguished counterparts in universities, research centers, federal agencies, international organizations and private industry throughout the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. The goal is to connect the traditional research and scholarly endeavors of the academy across disciplines, thereby ensuring an exchange of perspectives and information. Regular active-status faculty are eligible to apply.

ADDITIONAL FUNDING OPPORTUNITY

Public Interest Technology University Network (PIT-UN) Challenge Grants

The Public Interest Technology University Network (PIT-UN) has launched its latest PIT University Network Challenge. The Challenge aims to support the development of programs within academia that apply technology and technological expertise for the public good, which could include policy development, governance or service provision. As a PIT-UN member, GW may submit up to three new Challenge applications. If interested in being among GW’s applicants, please submit a two-page project summary and investigator(s) resumes/CVs as a single pdf via OVPR’s InfoReady Portal by 1:00 pm on Tuesday, May 18, 2021. View the full limited submission details, including budget ranges and sponsor deadline.
