This is event is held by the R. Ken Coit College of Pharmacy and Research Development Services.

This session aims to demystify the R35 mechanism, clarify expectations for both first‑time and renewal submissions, and help you decide whether the MIRA path is right for your research program.

Whether you are considering R35 funding or a seasoned PI preparing for renewal, this workshop will focus on how the mechanism works, how it evolves over time, and how to think programmatically rather than project‑by‑project. Lunch will be provided.
