RDS Brown Bag Series

Schedule for the 2023-2024 Academic Year

This series is all about the services and products from Research Development Services. Join Kim Patten, AVP for Research Development, as she guides UArizona faculty through the resources available for them as they either start their careers at the University of Arizona or are seeking to expand their research in new and novel directions. Generally the series takes place via Zoom on the third Thursday or Friday of the month at noon. Grab your lunch (your brownbag) and join for an informational, yet informal, conversation around the services provided. You may even pick up a tip or two.

While this series is free to UArizona faculty, please register in advance for each session.
