The Research and Scholarship Forum (formerly the Faculty Puwalu Research Forum) supports University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa researchers and scholars in launching, sustaining, and growing their research and scholarship efforts. These monthly forums during the fall and spring semesters aim to position researchers and scholars for success by connecting them with university resources, providing professional development opportunities, updating them on funding mechanisms, and engaging them on cross-disciplinary topics such as research communications and dissemination, leadership, mentoring, and networking. Offerings include a mix of information sessions, panels, workshops and presentations. Sessions are usually “in-person” only, but are recorded and posted to this website for those that are unable to attend the live events. Information about past sessions is available below.
UH Mānoa community members who have comments or ideas for sessions are invited to contact the Office of the Vice Provost for Research and Scholarship.
