The Innovation Labs will connect UI and ISU researchers and networks to generate novel interdisciplinary research ideas, help refine research questions, build interdisciplinary teams, and begin the important task of writing team-based, impactful, winning research proposals. With your involvement, expertise, and enthusiasm, new and exciting paths can be charted for Iowa researchers leading to the capture of climate change and sustainability science research funding.
- Innovation Lab #1 – Network and ideate: Wednesday, February 23 @ 9:30am-11am
- Innovation Lab #2 – Network and refine ideas: Wednesday, March 2 @ 9:30am-11am
- Innovation Lab #3 – Network, refine ideas, and pitch ideas: Wednesday, March 9 @ 9:30am-11am

The goal is to support community engaged research and scholarship partnerships that reciprocally benefit the University and Iowa communities.
Letters of Intent due February 4, 2022, with full applications, by invitation only, due April 15, 2022. See the OVPR Community Engaged Scholars RFP here. | | | | The National Science Foundation considers two criteria in their review of proposals: intellectual merit and broader impacts (BI). Broader impacts relate to how the proposed research will “benefit society or advance desired societal outcomes” and is increasingly used as the differentiator between which excellent proposals to fund or not.
The Training Team from the NSF-supported Advancing Research Impact in Society (ARIS) organization will conduct five interactive virtual workshops on Friday February 11, 25; March 11, 25; and April 8 from 9am-11am.
Register here for one or all sessions. | | | Do you want to maximize your time spent searching for funding opportunities or potential project collaborators?

| | | | Jumpstarting a Quantum Simulation Program Journal Club The Jumpstarting a Quantum Simulation Program team at the University of Iowa are organizing a Journal Club to bring together a community of interested graduate students, research staff, and faculty learn about research ongoing across campus as well as around the world. The Journal club will be held biweekly on Wednesdays in IATL 334, with a hybrid online option available. The time will alternate between 4 pm and 9 am on Wednesdays to accommodate a wider range of schedules.
Each week one speakers selected from the attendees will present a seminal paper from their field. The first week (2nd of February 4 pm) we will start with Prof. Ravi Uppu, Assistant Professor of Physics and Astronomy and PI of the Jumpstarting team.
If you would like to learn more, please email thomas-folland@uiowa.edu, with ‘Quantum Literature’ in the subject to be added into the outlook group to learn more and receive updates to scheduling throughout the semester. | | | The Csomay Community of Scholars (CCoS) is an interdisciplinary group of researchers at the University of Iowa interested in aging research including the care of older adults and biological processes of aging. We welcome faculty, graduate, and undergraduate students to of all disciplines join.
Please join the Csomay Community of Scholars virtually on 2/7 from 1-2pm to learn about aging research opportunities at the University of Iowa. We’re looking for faculty, graduate, and undergraduate students from all disciplines join our research teams. Featuring faculty from the College of Nursing, College of Public Health, and Carver College of Medicine.
