CUR and the National Grants Management Association (NGMA) are joining forces to bring you a reimagined Grant Dialogues—a two-day virtual professional development event designed to help you confidently navigate today’s complex funding landscape.
The National Conference on Undergraduate Research (NCUR) is dedicated to promoting undergraduate research, scholarship and creative activity in all fields of study by sponsoring an annual conference for students. Unlike meetings of academic professional organizations, this gathering of student scholars welcomes presenters from all institutions of higher learning and from all disciplines. NCUR 2026 will take place in Richmond, VA.
ConnectUR conference provides a platform for attendees to engage in professional development, explore innovative practices, and collaborate with peers dedicated to advancing impactful research programs. By attending, participants gain valuable strategies to enhance the research environment at their institutions, build stronger communities, and contribute to a national movement that champions the role of undergraduate research in addressing real-world challenges.
