How to Fund Your Research & Projects

2021 AIA/ACSA Intersections Research Conference: COMMUNITIES

Description: 

Examine two different funded projects, see the many benefits of academia, practice, business, and government collaborations. Resources and contacts will be shared in a series of short presentations from government agencies and non-profits highlighting their organization, vision, and resources. This session will encourage collaborative architectural research and innovation through sharing examples, stories, and a variety of resources and contacts for conducting research; funding projects (inc. tax credits); supporting curriculum; engaging in industry and government R&D; and finding internships and professional development opportunities too!
