Facilitation

You know the issues and answers, and we work with you to surface this knowledge to develop the path forward. Our facilitated events foster high-performing, interdisciplinary collaborations and spark innovative approaches and solutions. Best held 6- to 12-months prior to grant deadlines, these engagements enhance your competitiveness for center grants, regional food systems partnerships, and multidisciplinary research funding opportunities.
