Are you interested in showcasing your organization’s funding priorities?

[[email protected]]

Dear Colleagues,

Would your organization be interested in being showcased to speak about funding priorities in a forum with academic institutions’ development officers? At the Doris Duke Foundation, we are experiencing a surge in requests from development officers seeking to understand our priorities. Rather than fulfilling one at a time, we thought that we could invite this audience to meet with us at a given time/date over Zoom to share and engage in discussion. However, if there is enough interest from HRA members, we could make this a series featuring different interested HRA members. Would this be of interest to your organization?

We think that a forum could save HRA members time, increase the audience reach of people seeking information about our members, and give members the space to share funder perspectives about how support for the workforce and for research could evolve given the current landscape.

Please reply with your thoughts so we know if there is critical mass to offer this connection with academic institutions.

Thank you,

Sindy Escobar Alvarez, Program Director for Medical Research, Doris Duke Foundation
