This program is geared to Cornell faculty interested in understanding how to secure research support from New York State. The program will feature the staff in Cornell’s Office of State Relations in Albany: Charlie Kruzansky, Associate Vice President for Government Relations and Zoe Nelson, Associate Director for State Government Relations.

We’ll also hear from faculty members who have successfully secured state funding. There will be time for questions and answers.
