Grant Dialogues

Grant Dialogues 2023 took place February 14-17, 2023. Upcoming dates for 2024 will be released in the coming months. 

Whether you are writing a grant proposal, navigating the ins and outs of finding funding for your undergraduate research (UR) program or just trying to figure out where to start, the entire process can feel like climbing a mountain. Grant Dialogues provides an opportunity for the UR community to discuss the many available possibilities of funding and grants with grant experts, federal agency program officers and other grant funders. Grant Dialogues offers the UR community a supportive journey up that steep hill when developing program initiatives that call for future funding. Grant Dialogues offers an online structure that will allow viewing of scheduled presentations and conversations with federal agencies and grant funding decision-makers in both live and on-demand formats.

FEEDBACK FROM PAST ATTENDEES

“Dialogues provided a great opportunity to meet with NSF and DOE program officers and engage in conversations about submitting the best possible proposal from our institution. The REU Mock Review Panel session was one of the best things I’ve attended with the opportunity for immediate feedback from NSF program officers.“
— Marisa Moazen, PhD, Director, Office of UR, The University of Tennessee, Knoxville

“This was an excellent and relevant virtual event conducted in a way that was not tiring and allowed for good community/participant engagement.“
