<a href="https://sciencegateways.org/engage/focus-week" target="_blank">Gateway Focus Week</a> is a five-day intensive workshop that has been carefully designed to benefit teams who want to ensure the sustainability of their gateway projects.
<a href="https://sciencegateways.org/engage/focus-week" target="_blank"><b>Apply now!</b></a><br>
<br>
During Focus Week, teams engage in hands-on activities that help them <b>articulate the value of their work to key stakeholders.</b> Participating teams produce a strong
<b>development, operations, and sustainability plan</b> with a corresponding pitch deck that includes actionable goals. By working closely across teams, participants have the opportunity to learn from each other’s experiences and challenges. Focus Week attendees
 leave with a flexible toolkit that can be used as their projects continue to mature.<br>
<br>
Focus Week is <i>subsidized by the National Science Foundation. This allows you to attend what would otherwise be a $2,500 per team event</i> at
<b>no cost</b> other than travel, hotel, and a few meals. Most lunches and dinners are provided as part of the networking and cohort building activities.
