Research Study Groups
Study Groups are established for the purpose of developing and securing external funding for a coordinated program of research among the study group members. The Institute does not provide direct funding of Study Group activities, but will assist group members with administrative support, mentoring, and assistance in obtaining specialized funding, such as might be needed for attending specialized conferences or training that could be used for increasing the likelihood of securing external funding.
