Demystifying Penn State Research Centers – Part 1

Advancing your research portfolio is a key faculty objective. However, it is not always easy to determine who to contact, where to start, or how to identify, or engage with Penn State’s many resources. This series is an introduction and a bridge to all of the above. Dr. Sarah Chilenski – Research Professor at the Edna Bennett Research Center and Senior Faculty Mentor – will pull back the curtain and demystify the range of research support that is available to faculty at Penn State. This first session in the series will focus on the role of research centers at Penn State. Attendees will learn about the variety of centers available, their core functions, and how they can facilitate research for faculty across levels and disciplines.
