At Connected Minds, interdisciplinary research is one of our key pillars for success, though developing an interdisciplinary research program can be both exciting and overwhelming. This workshop is led by recently promoted faculty members conducting interdisciplinary research, to share their tips and tricks for success with early career researchers and mid-career researchers on how to make career decisions that will maximize impact. While each research field has nuances, taking strategies from each presenter can prepare you with a multitude of approaches for developing your future tenure and promotion files. We look forward to a rich discussion on finding funding, choosing opportunities, and making interdisciplinary research the most impactful it can be!

At this workshop you will learn:

1. How to strategically choose funding, fellowship, and award opportunities to apply to as an early and mid-career researcher;
2. How to develop engaging and nuanced research/support networks for impactful research output;
3. How to develop long term interdisciplinary research programs and goals, and steps to success that can be taken today; and
4. Collect resources for developing an interdisciplinary research profile
