STEM-NET: CSU GUIDE Webinar

Thursday, April 2, 2026

11:00am – 12:00pm

NOTE: SPF recently launched the CSU GUIDE limited competition for Cal Poly Humboldt. Due to a campus limit of three applications (no more than two per track), an internal letter of intent is required. To be considered, submit a letter of intent by Thursday, April 16, 2026. The application link can be found on Engagement Hub. The full submission will be due Monday, June 1, 2026. Please note that the webinar series below focuses on the CSU system application, not the internal letter of intent.

The Office of Research & Sponsored Programs Foundation is pleased to host this webinar presented by the Chancellor's Office, Department of Research and Dr. Frank A. Gomez, Executive Director, CSU STEM-NET. This session is the first in a three-part webinar series designed to help campuses better understand the CSU GUIDE program and prepare for upcoming proposal development opportunities. 

CSU GUIDE supports promising one- year research, scholarly or creative activity projects that can lead directly to the preparation of a proposal for major extramural funding.

Additional webinars in this series are scheduled for 11am on Tuesday, April 28, and Tuesday, May 5; registration details for these sessions will be shared at a later date.
