Marc Gibson is the Associate Vice Chancellor for Research at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.

Marc shares how capturing funding from large national grants is going to be his greatest opportunity (and challenge) for pushing the state forward especially at a time when a growing retirement population threatens the current status-quo.
