CUR Dialogues | February 14 - 18, 2022 | Virtual
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. CUR Dialogues was created to present an accessible platform for the UR community to discuss the many available possibilities of funding and grants with federal agency program officers and other grant funders. CUR Dialogues offers the UR community a journey up that steep hill when developing program initiatives that call for future funding. Your adventure kicks off February 14, 2022, and paves the way through five days until February 18, 2022. In this time period, CUR Dialogues offers a virtual 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. 

• Provide information for those getting started in the funding and grants processes
• Deliver practical advice and case studies 
• Offer encouragement and support for those on the journey of seeking funding
• Give space for dialogue between stakeholders
• Build collaboration with research officers
• Support faculty/sponsored research teams

 CHOOSE YOUR EXPERIENCE
What do you want to get out of Dialogues? How do you learn best?
Choose from two learning options to best suit your needs for the virtual conference.

What does the Standard Course offer?
Learn at your own pace, self-guided. Each day will have a plenary with live content to interact with and on-demand updates to look back at during and after the conference.  With the standard course, you will have access to the online community of others attending the conference to network, share resources, and discuss your findings, etc. 

What does the Guided Course offer?
In addition to the standard course content, participants in the guided course will spend one hour each morning with grant experts Bill Campbell and Paul Dehn completing a Grant Proposal Template and getting direct feedback on your proposal. This course is great for faculty or sponsored research staff. If you register as a group, you will have opportunities to work together on your proposal drafts throughout the week. By the end of the guided course, you will have a near-complete grant proposal that has been reviewed by your peers and our course leaders.
