2020 New Frontiers in Research Fund Transformation: Test Your Concept Sessions (Feb. 24, 25 & 28)
February 24 - May 9, 2025
SPARC is hosting Test Your Concept (TYC) panels for researchers interested in submitting applications to the 2020 New Frontiers in Research Fund Transformation Competition.
The interdisciplinary panel will meet in-person with each UBC-led team for 30 minutes to provide constructive feedback on research concepts. The Nominated Principal Investigator, joined by any other members of the required 5-person team, is expected to provide a 5-minute powerpoint presentation (to be submitted in advance) summarizing their project concept and how it satisfies the criteria of high-risk, high-reward, interdisciplinarity, feasibility, and equity, diversity and inclusion.
The TYC panels will be held in the afternoons of February 24, 25 and 28, 2020, from 1-4PM. Space is limited, so we ask that you register for one session only as soon as possible.
For more information, please contact Alex Unterberger.
In addition to SPARC's LOI and Full Application Information Session (February 20), the following support is also available to UBC-led teams:
- SPARC-hosted NFRF LOI Webinar (February 26);
- EDI Peer Editing Workshops (March 10 and 11); and
- LOI Reviews (March 23 to April 3 TBC).
