We’ve learned that deep collaboration requires time to build trust and alignment. That’s why the March session will be followed by additional Research Connector virtual events and gatherings that we hope will enable the establishment of concrete research partnerships for social impact. We hope you’ll join us on this adventure in March as we kick things off with our first Research Connector Workshop! Workshop date: Thursday, March 18 from 2:30-4:30pm EST.
