RIO welcomes new and early-career faculty to join the Principal Investigator (PI) Academy
Distinct from Thriving at CU through the Office of Faculty Affairs, the PI Academy provides a more in-depth dive into the CU Boulder research and creative work ecosystem. We encourage you to look through both programs to ensure you maximize your first few years at CU Boulder.
The Principal Investigator (PI) Academy creates a space听where new and early-career faculty engage with peers on core research topics. Participants are positioned to effectively identify, apply for and secure external funding for their research, scholarly, and creative projects, while also networking with fellow researchers.

听RIO and the PI Academy are almost too good to be true! Talking with peers and mentors at other institutions, I have been told to cherish the opportunity I have here; these are some invaluable resources. I cannot recommend RIO and the PI Academy highly enough.鈥� 鈥�Sandra Ristovska, Assistant Professor, Media Studies
