About the Webconference
The first two years under the Trump administration have been a mixed bag for academic research. On one hand, the federal research agencies have seen strong funding growth for fundamental science. On the other, a series of sweeping social policy proposals threaten the talent, infrastructure, and collaborations that underpin the research enterprise.
In this webconference, participants will learn how the Trump administration has impacted research — for better and for worse — and how the outcomes of the midterm elections could affect the critical funding and social policies. The webinar will conclude with recommendations for how chief research officers (CROs) can lead their university's science advocacy efforts and set the research strategy for the coming years.
