The focus of the event will be to explore both ongoing and potential collaborative research opportunities in and across these topics. The Conference will include presenters and panelists – from both the university and private sectors – representing regional, national and international expertise in their respective research areas as well as in multidisciplinary research partnerships. In addition, program officers from a variety of federal programs will be on hand to discuss funding priorities and opportunities related to the oil spill and its aftermath.
