Program Officers (POs) for federal funding agencies like NSF, NIH, and NEH, as well as private foundations, play a valuable role in connecting your research to their agencies’ broader goals. How do you maximize your relationship with a program officer and successfully communicate the value of your research? Join us for this workshop in which we’ll cover the “how and why” of reaching out to a PO, whether you’re pitching a new project or refining a long-term goal. We’ll then apply this knowledge in a facilitated writing session to draft your initial communications with them.

Kayla Dryden, M.A., Research Development Officer, Arts and Humanities, Office of the Vice President for Research, Scholarship and Creative Endeavors
Lena Suk, Ph.D., Assistant Director, Investigator Skill-Building, Office of the Vice President for Research, Scholarship and Creative Endeavors
