The Granting Game
by
Dr. Michael Jenkins
Executive Director
Information Technology Research Centre (ITRC)
Time: Friday, Dec. 1, 1989, 12:05 --- Place: GB 248
How many times have you heard talk in the hallways and lounges
about "Centres of Excellence", IRAP, NSERC, "matching funds", URIF,
MITT, etc. etc. and not had a clue what the fuss was about? Well,
the fuss is about research funding -- the life-blood of research.
Without it the funding for graduate student stipends, computer
hardware or software, support staff, conference travel and limited
term faculty positions would not exist. The granting game is the
single most important facet of academia that they never teach you
about in computer science or engineering grad school.
This informal talk will emphasize what the granting game is,
why it is important, and who the players are in the Canadian scene.
There will be no written test at the end of the talk.
Coffee and doughnuts will be served in addition to the
traditional hot cider. All are welcome.
