Sponsor Spotlight: William T. Grant Foundation
Research Development Brown Bag Lunch Webinars
February 1, 2023
12:00 PM - 1:00 PM
The William T. Grant Foundation (WTG) supports high-quality research on reducing inequality in youth outcomes, a funding strategy that is well-aligned with the research strengths of UIC. With multiple grant opportunities offered throughout the year, WTG provides many entry points for support, but how can you position your work to be competitive? This brown bag lunch webinar, hosted by the UIC Office of Research Development, will feature faculty speakers from across campus who have secured funding from WTG, along with staff from the Corporate & Foundation Relations team. This presentation will allow participants to learn directly from WTG grantees about their experiences partnering with the foundation to improve the lives of young people through research. This presentation is well-suited for faculty working in an array of disciplines, including public health, education, social sciences and beyond.
