Flower Grant Virtual Pitch Slam - DAY 1
Penn State's Ecology Institute is sponsoring this online competition for research funding.
Pitch slams are fast-paced idea-sharing events where presenters have four minutes to explain their ideas to a selection committee as well as a general audience. The competition is open to Penn State faculty members (tenured, tenure track, and fixed term) who hold an appointment of half-time or more at any Penn State campus.
Awards will range between $500 to $4,000 and that approximately 10 grants will be awarded.
All presentations should justify the need for financial support and provide a clear connection to the core themes of the Ecology Institute:
- Resilience and adaptation
- Provision of ecosystem goods and services
- Ecology at the interface
- Rapid evolutionary change
- Ecological foundations
In addition to the core thematic areas, the Ecology Institute is interested in topics related to the ecological dimensions of COVID-19, such as ecology of infectious disease, wildlife-human interactions, and diversity/equity/inclusion in interdisciplinary ecology research.
Winners will be announced at a live event at noon on March 17, 2021.
