The Provost's Advisory Committee on Women's Issues and the Office of Research and Health Sciences will host the third annual Research Forum from 8 to 11:30 a.m. Oct. 24 in the Campus Room of Capstone House.

The event will include breakfast and a panel discussion featuring three successful USC researchers: Rosemarie Booze, Department of Psychology; Heather Brandt, Arnold School of Public Health and the S.C. Cancer Prevention and Control Program; and Valinda Littlefield, African-American Studies and Department of History.

Each panelist will speak from her own experience about what she considers to be essential steps in building successful research collaborations.

The panel presentations will be followed by a brief question and answer session and roundtable discussions among participants.

Representatives from Sponsored Awards Management, the Office of Undergraduate Research, and University Libraries will provide additional information and resource materials.

There is no charge to attend the event, which is open to members of the USC community who are interested in learning more about interdisciplinary research collaboration efforts.

For registration information or questions about the forum, contact Susan Cate, Arnold School of Public Health Office of Research at 7-5551 or scate@sc.edu.
