The Symposium will feature EMBRIO speakers, along with speakers from Notre Dame, and invited Key Notes. Proposed to be hosted at our partners at University of Notre Dame, South Bend, Indiana, EMBRIO will organize and help provide transportation and lodging for Purdue members to attend, as well as reimburse travel for EMBRIO trainees from our partner institutions to participate. Spring Semester EMBRIO All-Hands Schedule: Mondays 3-4pm Biweekly We will continue with Mondays bi-weekly 3-4pm ET (calendar invites will be sent out soon. The intention this spring semester is to have one session a month dedicated to research thrust updates and one session a month dedicated to working proposal team(s) collaborating on new funding proposals that leverage EMBRIO (trainees are welcome to attend/participate in these sessions). * Dates for Research Thrust Updates will be Jan 26, Feb 23, Mar 23, April 20, May18. * Brent will be in touch with Thrust leaders and trainees for scheduling these times. * Dates for Working Proposal Teams will be Jan 12, Feb 9, Mar 9, April 6, May 4. * Working teams will receive additional notifications and materials. * Please use this Google spreadsheet<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.google.com%2Fspreadsheets%2Fd%2F1MzX5ZAyn5LjiEX5uKUm1RNz8W8URxU62%2Fedit%3Fusp%3Dsharing%26ouid%3D107962836095749734864%26rtpof%3Dtrue%26sd%3Dtrue&data=05%7C02%7Cembrio-list%40ecn.purdue.edu%7Caaee3fde252b4cf76e9208de36a335e8%7C4130bd397c53419cb1e58758d6d63f21%7C1%7C0%7C639008271781151490%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=CCXut8Cb2jXFuuhXVE793UX5lxNfM9weB8Z0mURHgio%3D&reserved=0> for coordinating interest and activity around a number of funding opportunities associated with EMBRIO. * Proposal teams will have additional meeting times, though these dedicated times in the spring schedule can help foster coordination and ties between collaborative proposals and activity in this space that is leveraging EMBRIO research.
