Critical Issues Forum Series
These gatherings draw upon the expertise of faculty fellows, community practitioners, and other NCID stakeholders to identify some of the most pressing diversity issues and opportunities within the NCID’s eight core priority areas. In essence, the forum series launches working groups that, ideally, proceed to become proposal development groups.
