As our research enterprise grows, new methods and modes of communication are required to meet the needs of investigators, scholars, scientists, research administrators, and all other parties who contribute to the success of our world-class portfolio. To that end, it is my pleasure to provide background on two new opportunities to receive information from the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research (OVCR). We hope that your engagement with these sources, as well as with the existing ones, is beneficial to you. Please see below for more information on each.
- In my blog, Research Matters, I cover topical areas of interest to the research community. I share my perspective not only as the vice chancellor for research but as a fellow researcher.
- On March 5, our organization will launch a new e-newsletter called The Carolina Investigator. It will provide the research community with news, funding opportunities, administrative updates, federal and legislative updates, and upcoming events — pertinent information for scientists and scholars. Subscribe to The Carolina Investigator here.
In addition to these offerings, we will still be providing relevant, timely content in our existing newsletters:
- Inside Research provides information of specific relevance for personnel within the OVCR, offering news and updates, informative profiles on programs and people within the organization, a calendar of events, and relevant stories from across campus. Email inside-research@unc.eduto subscribe.
- Endeavors is UNC’s monthly digital research magazine. Through well-crafted stories and vibrant visuals, the magazine shares content from all disciplines, breaking down the complexities of research for a general audience. Whether you conduct or support research activity, I highly recommend subscribing to Endeavors so that you can see the fruits of your and your peers’ hard work. Email endeavors@unc.edu to subscribe.
I hope you will find the plethora of information we now offer helpful. My thanks to the Office of Research Communications for managing these outlets and responding to the needs of the research community.
