Are you just getting started in research? Pursing a new area of research? Need a little bit of money to get some preliminary data? Trying to find summer salary for one (more) student? Looking for ways to stretch and leverage start-up funds?  Interested in establishing a track record to become more competitive with major funding agencies? Often small pockets are available from a variety of local or regional sources that can help get a new project off the ground. Examples will be described, strategies for learning about other opportunities in your area will be suggested, and approaches to securing funding from atypical sources discussed.  This talk is structured to engage participants and help individuals brainstorm about possibilities in their own geographic area and research subfield field. The goal of this presentation is to help members of the audience create a personal action plan to enact after the conference.
