Objective:
Contribute funding to support and build collaborations among a community of early career scientists developed by the Research Corporation for Science Advancement (RCSA). Objectives include: (1) Conduct a Scialog on the topic of Mitigating Zoonotic Threats to stimulate the research community and support the National Bio and Agro-defence Facility; and (2) Conduct research to understand the impact of community building, and alternative methods of community building, on scientific network development and idea generation.
Approach:
Working with ARS and the Research Corporation for Science Advancement (RCSA), jointly develop: (a) the topics and focus for the Mitigating Zoonotic Threats Scialog events; (b) identify early career (researchers) and senior career (facilitator/moderator) from non-USDA participants; and (c) design and conduct experiments to build a research network with enhanced innovation and impact.
