Esports has a compounded annual growth rate of over 15% and will soon surpass half a billion audience members. With this level of popularity, colleges and universities are building their own esports programs. There are currently more than 180 varsity esports programs and many more club teams and curricular programs. However, the high-performance equipment needed to start esports programs can be expensive, resulting in many schools being unable to find sufficient funding.

Join HP, AMD, and Grants Office as we explore where the funding is (and isn’t) for esports. We examine some of the biggest challenges to finding external funding for collegiate esports initiatives and offer guidance on potential solutions. We’ll also cover how to position your project for success.

If your institution is interested in starting or growing an esports program, you won’t want to miss this session!

Research computing, including high performance computing (HPC) enables advanced research and research-related activities across scientific disciplines and having the right computing system is essential to support your institution’s needs. However, finding the funding to purchase this equipment can be challenging. Fortunately, federal research instrumentation grants, such as the Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) grant from the National Science Foundation, can support HPC-enabled research at institutes of higher education.

Join Grants Office, Intel, and Dell Technologies as we dive into the MRI grant and talk with grant winners from universities that have successfully deployed these technologies to support their researchers.

Everyone who registers for this event will also receive a copy of Facilitating Research: Funding Research Computing with NSF’s Major Research Instrumentation Grant and More, containing information about MRI and other popular upcoming research instrumentation grants and an overview of how to utilize these programs and research computing technologies to meet your institution’s research goals.

Are you a professor, teaching assistant, lab manager or instructor finding it difficult to fund purchases for your postsecondary engineering or science lab? We know budgets are tight, and your organization’s traditional revenue streams may not be enough to help you accomplish everything you’d like in the year ahead, whether it is starting a new initiative or even updating old equipment. If you’re willing to play the long-game though, consider grant-seeking as a means to bring your organization some additional funds! Moreover, there are several steps your organization can take well before a target grant has even be identified to make sure that you’ll be able to hit the ground running once your desired grant opens for application.

Join Grants Office and special guests from Keysight Technologies and TestEquity as we discuss the function of grant funding, what characteristics grant-ready organizations possess, and common proposal elements that you can prepare ahead of time.

If you’re new to grant seeking – or even curious about what it might take for your organization to consider applying for grant funding – you won’t want to miss this fast-paced and informative session!

It would be hard to miss the media attention dedicated to the data breaches and hacking of high-profile businesses in recent years. The most serious offenders left hundreds of millions of consumers worried about the privacy of their personal information stored online.

Local government agencies carry similar levels of concern for the security of their own data. Public health agencies hold confidential information on patients. Public utility companies maintain payment information for individual homes. Law enforcement officers record names, addresses, and statements of survivors, offenders, and witnesses. Each individual trove of data represents a potential target of foreign and/or domestic hackers. And each must – in turn – be protected by layers of cybersecurity.

Join Grants Office, LLC and Dynamic Systems as we discuss technology solutions and grant funding available for cybersecurity initiatives in local government agencies. We’ll outline funding from a variety of state and federal agencies, detailing how to effectively justify the inclusion of data-security software, network upgrades, consulting fees, and other infrastructure improvements into a grant budget.

Invite your project managers, IT staff, and grant writers to attend this fast-paced and informative grantscast so that your government agency will be prepared against the next big cybersecurity threat!

As a sense of normalcy starts to return to many areas of the country, many public sector agencies are still struggling to rebound. Financial constraints stemming from the pandemic continue to put many important government and education services in peril. The true impact is not measured by lost revenue and other financial indicators, but by the residents and students that continue to suffer and ultimately bear the burden of the pandemic.

Fortunately, funding has started to flow from the American Rescue Plan. While these dollars can be used for COVID response efforts, Congress specifically built-in provisions with an eye towards the future. Much of the funding is aimed at helping government agencies overcome budget shortfalls and ensure students can return to schools while retaining the flexibility offered by remote and hybrid learning environments.

Join Grants Office and special guests from SHI as we explore the various funding sources available and ensure you are armed with the funding tools and strategies necessary to implement your technology-enabled projects. Whether you are with a state or local government, healthcare organization, K-12 school, or institution of higher education, this session will help you make the most of the stimulus funding being made available to your organization.

The coronavirus pandemic has accelerated the need for healthcare providers to adopt new communications and connectivity technology to enhance and expand service delivery and improve sharing of critical patient data. At the same time, though, providers’ budgets have been seriously impacted in the wake of the crisis, making outside funding critical to putting these technologies within reach.

Join Grants Office and L3Harris as we review the landscape of funding opportunities that are available to support healthcare communications and connectivity initiatives, how they relate to the recent stimulus appropriations, and tips for making the most of what’s available to fund this much-needed technology.

If you are looking for ways to maximize your share of the historic levels of healthcare funding that is available this year, you won’t want to miss this event!

Each year over $1 billion in grant funding is distributed by federal, state and foundation grantmakers. In addition to this annual money, the federal government has made over $6 trillion in stimulus funds available over the past 16 months. However, simply knowing that the money exists does not bring you any closer funding your community broadband initiative, securing your hybrid learning environment, advancing your smart transportation project, or accommodating providers and patients through telehealth devices.

Join experts from Grants Office and Insight Public Sector to learn more about the latest technology you will need in a post-Pandemic world, specific grants that will pay for it and how Insight is teaming with Grants Office to make sure you have grant specialists available to you for your grantseeking efforts. This session has something for everyone - we urge you to attend whether you are an institution of higher education, K-12 school, state or local agency, healthcare provider or tribal entity.

High performance computing (HPC) is enabling advanced research and research-related education across disciplines, and having the right HPC system available at your institution to support these needs is essential. However, funding the purchase of this equipment can be challenging.

Fortunately, federal instrumentation grants, such as Campus Cyberinfrastructure, DoD Research & Education Program for HBCUs and MSIs, and others, can support HPC-enabled research and education at institutes of higher education.

Join Grants Office and Dell Technologies as we dive into these important funding sources for university research initiatives and talk with grant winners from universities that have successfully deployed these technologies to support their researchers and students.

Everyone who registers for this event will also receive a PDF copy of Funding High Performance Computing to Empower Faculty and Institutional Research, containing highlights of prominent grant programs and an overview of how to utilize these programs and HPC technologies to meet your institution’s research goals.

With the K12 fiscal year ending later this month, a new round of funding opportunities is on the horizon for FY22. Expected over the next several months are a series of K-12 focused grants covering everything from STEM to teacher professional development – all of which are technology-friendly and could be used to address your district’s needs. Since these application windows are typically only open for 30 days though, planning ahead and getting a jump start on your application can go a long way towards preventing future stress.
