Challenge Description: Learn about local community organizations’ data needs, researcher skill sets to meet those needs, and funders’ funding priorities via this virtual speed dating-style experience.
- Date: Wednesday, January 17, 2024
- Time: 12PM-1PM
- Venue: Zoom
Last year we learned that one of our local community organizations’ needs is data from research that can help support requests and programming in grant proposals. Our research community has a skill set that can help fill that gap. Our philanthropic community has funding priorities that bridge community organizations and research. What will happen when we pair these parties in one room for a period of five to 10 minutes to learn about each other in a virtual speed dating-style event?
If you are a:
- researcher;
- community organization representative; or
- funder, then…
this event is for YOU.
Register HERE before Friday, January 13, 2024.
