The CIB hosts discussion groups in an effort to bring together a variety of researchers from across the USU Campus to investigate specific topics with diverse view points. The groups generally meet about once a month, have a guest speaker, and have time to consider the implications of the different research approaches. The ultimate purpose of group meetings is to develop collaborations that are well-rounded and have the internal resources to seek funding to pursue research in the more defined areas that come about as a result of the discussions and presentations. Possible topics for submissions are equipment grants, collections, or IGERTs. If you would like the CIB’s assistance in starting a discussion group, contact the Grants Specialist. If you already have a group collaboration started and are seeking a letter of support contact the director's office.
