Gateway Focus Workshop
Looking to build a sustainability plan for your science gateway? Planning to write your next funding proposal?
Join us at the next Focus Workshop to create your starter sustainability toolkit!
The Gateway Focus Workshop, offered by the Science Gateways Community Institute (SGCI), is an intensive 2.5 day in-person workshop designed for innovative research teams to work together on producing a strong sustainability plan. You’ll leave the Focus Workshop with a clearer definition of your project's value, its audience, and its positioning in the competitive landscape along with tools you can use to continue as your project continues to mature. Take the time to step away from your desk and invest in your future!
The next session takes place December 5-7, 2022 at Howard University.
Thanks to the generous support of NSF, we are able to offer this workshop at no cost to attendees. Attendees will only need to cover their own travel, lodging, and meal costs.
The Focus Workshop application is open with rolling acceptance!
Space is limited – the last day to apply is November 11, 2022.
