Beyond Publications
Sharing Your Work More Broadly for Impact, Collaboration, and Funding
📅 Date: December 8th 2025
⏰ Time: 12-1pm Eastern
📍 Location: Online via google meets
Overview
Researchers are now expected to do more than publish. Funders, institutions, and the public increasingly look for clear, compelling stories that show why research matters and how it makes a difference. At the same time, AI powered discovery tools are changing how people find and consume information about research.
In this session, we will explore practical ways to help your faculty treat dissemination beyond traditional journal articles as an intentional, strategic part of their work. We will look at how smarter sharing can:
- Strengthen the case for continued or expanded funding
- Increase opportunities for collaboration, both on campus and externally
- Improve public understanding and support for your institution’s research
- Make faculty more visible in AI driven discovery environments
You will leave with concrete ideas and examples you can bring back to your campus, plus language you can reuse in guidance, trainings, and internal resources for investigators.
What you will learn
By the end of this webinar, you will be able to:
- Explain why funders and institutions increasingly expect dissemination beyond publications
- Identify the most useful “beyond the PDF” formats for different audiences, such as policy briefs, public summaries, talks, datasets, and preprints
- Connect dissemination strategies to funding competitiveness, including broader impacts and “impact” narrative sections
- Help researchers align their online presence with how AI discovery tools surface and summarize their work
- Develop lightweight guidance and checklists that make it easier for busy faculty to share their work more broadly
Who should attend
This webinar is designed for:
- Research administrators in central or college level units
- Research development and pre award staff
- Center and institute staff who support faculty proposals
- Communications professionals who partner with research offices
- Any campus staff who support faculty in finding and winning external funding
Featured speaker
Julia Barzyk, Ph.D. Julia Barzyk is the founder of Wise Investigator LLC. She and her team help faculty navigate the “hidden curriculum” of federal research funding. Previously, she spent over 10 years as a program manager at the U.S. Army Research Office overseeing basic research portfolios in geoscience and civil engineering and University Research Initiatives programs. There she oversaw every stage of the research funding lifecycle, including drafting topics for major investments. Her perspective offers valuable insight into how program managers evaluate impact, communication, and visibility when shaping funding priorities.
Host
