What a year 2020 has been! COVID-19 has reshaped how we understand and practice collaborative research, not to mention nearly every other aspect of how we live and work. By year’s end, all of us are now on a similar journey to take stock of what we have learned through these challenges.
This webinar brings together the perspectives of five funders working across North America that sponsor collaborative research on environmental topics. Earlier this fall, each of them polled their grantees about how COVID-19 has affected their active projects and asked them to make sense of the benefits and constraints of doing collaborative research virtually. In this webinar, panelists representing the organizations involved in the study will share and discuss preliminary findings and their implications for future programs.
Participating funders will include:
* California Strategic Growth Council
* NERRS Science Collaborative
* NOAA’s Regional Integrated Sciences & Assessment
* Lenfest Ocean Program at the Pew Charitable Trust
* Pacific Institute for Climate Solutions.
