25-26 BRC Fellowship Strategic Plan Presentations
Since 2018, the Building Research Capacity (BRC) Fellowship has been equipping individuals with the knowledge, leadership skills, mentorship, and peer support to develop and implement a strategic plan for building research capacity within their own programs, departments, or institutions. Throughout the year of the fellowship, the fellows each analyze their departments to find areas for improvement, then develop strategies for addressing their needs.
During this session, each of the graduating fellows of the 2025-2026 BRC Fellowship cohort will present their strategic plans for research capacity development.
