Once caught in the grant writing cycle, it can be hard to step outside it and take stock. What is the point of writing so many proposals? In the university system we operate in, what is the ultimate objective of funding so many research and creative activities?

For many early career researchers, it will be tenure; for others, it might be promotion. Regardless of the target, it is essential for researchers to have identified their long-term career goal so that they can understand its requirements and create a plan to support their efforts.

In this interactive workshop, participants will be engage in a series of assessments and planning exercises to:

• Define their next major career goal(s) (tenure, promotion, or otherwise)
• Outline the beginnings of their multi-year plan, using the goal(s) identified above
• Draft a more detailed outline of the first year of this plan, accounting for other time commitments (family, teaching, service)
