Purpose: The Oak Ridge Associated Universities (ORAU) is a
university consortium leveraging the scientific strength of major research
institutions to advance science and education by partnering with national
laboratories, government agencies, and private industry. The ORAU Events
Sponsorship Program provides support for events that involve participants from
more than one ORAU institution. Typical events might include visits to an ORAU
institution by a renowned speaker, conferences or workshops with a focused
theme, or a technology transfer/business plan competition. A
representative from ORAU must be invited to the event and will attend, if
possible. Funding is now available for events to take place between May 1,
2021 and September 30, 2021. New events are preferred over ongoing or annual
events with established financial models. Seminar series will not be considered
for support due to the limited engagement by other ORAU member institutions.
Funding must be awarded prior to the event and all events must be completed by
September 30 of each year.
Criteria include:
·
Event
participation by more than one ORAU institution
·
Potential
impact of the event, including the number of institutions or
participants
·
