A funding opportunity newsletter is an effective way to communicate upcoming deadlines and support services to the research community. It can be challenging to put together a useful resource for researchers with diverse and overlapping interests. How do you select, format, and organize relevant content? As staff time is both limited and valuable, what best practices can be used? Given that inboxes are overflowing, how can you be sure that your efforts are reaching researchers? This panel discussion will consider newsletters as a form of íåmarketingí¬ for RA and RD services, as well as a means of building and maintaining a relationship with faculty. The discussion will explore ideas for developing a funding newsletter. The group will review topics including newsletter quality, digital life, peer-to-peer proofreading, creating an online archive, and the importance of soliciting and incorporating feedback from faculty and leadership. The discussion goal is to share ideas and best practices for disseminating funding opportunities to faculty and graduate students in an engaging way. All interested colleagues are encouraged to participate in the lively conversation during the Q&A session. LOCATION: END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
