Abstract: Many education and outreach programs face two daunting shortages: time and money. EPO professionals are frequently challenged to develop quality efforts for a variety of audiences and settings, all on a shoestring budget. How do you create a broad and cohesive education and outreach portfolio with limited resources? In this session, we discussed several effective strategies to make the most of your assets, such as adaptation of existing programs and materials, mutually beneficial partnerships, and innovative (and inexpensive) dissemination techniques. These approaches can fill in the gaps in your portfolio, increasing the scope and impact of your EPO efforts. There are a variety of cost-effective tools and techniques that can bring your EPO endeavors to a wide range of audiences and settings. Turn your program’s EPO wish list into reality through savvy leveraging of existing personnel, funding, and materials... or find a partner that can help you fill any gaps in your portfolio.
