CUR Dialogues is designed to bring faculty and administrators to Washington, D.C. to interact with federal agency program officers and other grant funders.

Workshops and plenary sessions will:
tell participants about grant opportunities in research and education, both new and ongoing;
help faculty learn how to find new funding opportunities;
help faculty develop grant proposal writing skills.
Participants will:

meet in small groups and talk with program officers and grants management officers -- NSF, NIH, NEH, NEA, DoED, USDA, and more;
take the opportunity to communicate directly with program officers and grants administrators concerning grant requirements and funders’ priorities;
share ideas with colleagues.
