Research, teaching and service. These are the areas that we all know we need to excel in to get promoted. We can easily control our teaching quality and service levels, but it's the research component where many of us are currently facing our greatest challenges. We're all too aware that research costs are escalating, national research funds are dwindling and those funds are becoming more targeted than ever before. So how can we get enough money to do our research and get the quality publications needed for promotion? In this session I will discuss some of the unconventional strategies I have used to supplement funds for my labs, international collaborations that are funneling money to my research program and how these tactics have helped me develop a strong internationally recognized research component and (thus far) unimpeded promotion as a faculty member. I will also point out the key steps that I took throughout my career that have helped in my career progression and how I've overcome obstacles that we all deal with as faculty members.
