Office of Science (SC) Office Hours

Join us on the first Tuesday of each month, 2-3 pm Eastern Time, for virtual office hours to learn about our programs and ask questions. Researchers, educators, and research administrators from all institutions are encouraged to join. A primary goal of the virtual office hours is to broaden awareness of our programs; no prior history of funding from SC is required to join. Each office hour will begin with a brief presentation followed by questions and answers on a monthly topic. After the presentation and questions, we will move to breakout rooms by program office to answer general questions. Registration is required for attendance. Please use an institutional email address to complete the registration process. A confirmation email containing information about joining the Office Hours session will be sent to the email address provided. Future virtual office hour topics will be posted here. Closed captioning will be available.
