Research Commons Workshop – Building a Research Team: Thinking Decolonization, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (DEDI) and High-Quality Personnel (HQP) (Part I)

Are you at the point in your career where you’re beginning to build your research team, but unsure of where to start? Perhaps you need to expand your team? In our two-part Building a Research Team workshop series we will begin shedding some light on how to decide who you need on your team, the supports they will need and how to properly prepare (fiscally and culturally) for your new research team. We hope our workshop gets you and your new team ready to reach higher levels of research impact than imagined.
