It is valuable for grant writers to know their audience and understand what that particular audience values in regards to education research.  During this session, representatives from a range of funding agencies will provide insight into their specific programs and organizational values. Fellows have been asked to view videos of each funder’s presentation in advance, so that this session may be dedicated to discussion and Q&A.

Small Group Professional Connections

During this session, dissertation fellows, postdoctoral discussants, and their mentors will meet in fellows forum groupings. The purpose of the session is to discuss the research presentations conducted by dissertation fellows, but to also speak with mentors more broadly about the field and any thoughts that emerged from the discussion that took place at the forums. We encourage mentors to attend this session if possible, but please note not all mentors will be participating in the retreat in person, and some may not be able to stay for this session.
