Funded by a CITI ERIT planning grant, the
group will meet throughout 2006 to complete the following tasks:
- Define
individual member research interests to inform the group of current
activities
- Discuss
overlapping research interests that may initiate future collaborative
efforts
- Identify
relevant conferences and, if appropriate, attend in small teams to
facilitate discovery of research topics that are of mutual interest to
group members
- Identify
relevant funding sources and initiatives and, if appropriate, begin
formulating proposals
- Determine if
hosting prominent robotics researchers or representatives from funding
agencies is worthwhile in pursuing collaborative research funding
The group’s $5,000 budget will be used to
support these activities by:
·
Providing
money for small group lunch meetings at which discussions will take place
·
Providing
travel support to visit funding agencies or relevant conferences
·
Providing
honorarium funds if seminar speaker(s) are to be invited to
