ANCILLARYEVENT · EVT-TT02 · ID: EVT-TT02

This Table Topics session is an interactive follow-up to Damon W. Diehl's Industry Room workshops on finding funding that fits and building perfectly aligned proposals. The discussion centers on diagnosing why proposals miss the mark, interpreting solicitation language, and aligning research and commercialization ideas with sponsor priorities. Designed for early-career researchers and others navigating competitive funding environments, the session emphasizes practical questions, shared challenges, and concrete examples in an informal, collaborative setting.
