This Consulting Agreement, effective as of June 2, 2014 (“Effective Date”), is by and between Curis, Inc., having a place of

 WHEREAS, Curis
desires to have the benefit of Consultant’s knowledge and experience, and Consultant desires to provide consulting services to Curis as provided in this Agreement; 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises set forth in the Agreement, Curis and Consultant hereby agree as follows:

	(a)	During the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on June 1, 2015 (the “Consultation Period”), Curis and Consultant may terminate this Agreement at any time only upon mutual written agreement
or as provided in Section 1(d). 

  

	(b)	Curis may terminate this Agreement at any time, effective immediately, if the Consultant breaches or threatens to breach the terms of that certain Invention, Non-Disclosure and Non-Competition Agreement, dated

such renewal period, Curis or Consultant may terminate this Agreement at any time with 30 days prior written notice to the other party.

	(g)	Consultant acknowledges that (a) the provisions of this Agreement are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of Curis, (b) any violations of this Agreement will result in irreparable
injury to Curis and that damages at law would not be reasonable or adequate compensation to Curis for a violation of this Agreement and (c) Curis shall be entitled, in addition to any other right or remedy available in law or in equity, to the
right to obtain an injunction from a court of competent jurisdiction restraining such breach or threatened breach and to specific performance of any such provision of this Agreement. The parties further agree that no bond or other security shall be
required in obtaining such equitable relief and each party hereby consents to the issuance of such injunction and to the ordering of specific performance.

 Exhibit 10.3 

FORM OF INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT 

This Agreement is made as of the      day of             
2014, by and between Curis, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Corporation”), and              (the “Indemnitee”), a director of the Corporation. 

WHEREAS, it is essential to the Corporation to retain and attract as directors and officers the most capable persons available, and

 WHEREAS, the substantial increase in corporate litigation subjects directors and officers to expensive litigation risks at the
same time that the availability of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance has been severely limited, and 
 WHEREAS,
it is now and has always been the express policy of the Corporation to indemnify its directors and officers, and 
 WHEREAS, the
Indemnitee does not regard the protection available under the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation and insurance as adequate in the present circumstances, and may not be willing to serve or continue to serve as a director without adequate
protection, and 
 WHEREAS, the Corporation desires the Indemnitee to serve, or continue to serve, as a director of the Corporation.

 NOW THEREFORE, the Corporation and the Indemnitee do hereby agree as follows: 

1. Agreement to Serve. The Indemnitee agrees to serve or continue to serve as a director of the Corporation for so long as the
Indemnitee is duly elected or appointed or until such time as the Indemnitee tenders a resignation in writing. 
 2. Definitions. As
used in this Agreement: 
 (a) The term “Proceeding” shall include any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, arbitration,
alternative dispute resolution proceeding, administrative hearing or other proceeding, whether brought by or in the right of the Corporation or otherwise and whether of a civil, criminal, administrative or investigative nature, and any appeal
therefrom. 
 (b) The term “Corporate Status” shall mean the status of a person who is or was a director or officer of the
Corporation, or is or was serving, or has agreed to serve, at the request of the Corporation, as a director, officer, partner, trustee, member, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, limited liability company or
other enterprise. 
 (c) The term “Expenses” shall include, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, retainers, court costs,
transcript costs, fees and expenses of experts, travel expenses, duplicating costs, printing and binding costs, telephone charges, postage, delivery service fees and other disbursements or expenses of the types customarily incurred in connection
with investigations, 

 
judicial or administrative proceedings or appeals, but shall not include the amount of judgments, fines or penalties against Indemnitee or amounts paid in settlement in connection with such
matters. 
 (d) References to “other enterprise” shall include employee benefit plans; references to “fines” shall
include any excise tax assessed with respect to any employee benefit plan; references to “serving at the request of the Corporation” shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation which imposes
duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee, or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants, or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be
in the interests of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation” as referred to in this Agreement. 

3. Indemnification in Third-Party Proceedings. The Corporation shall indemnify the Indemnitee in accordance with the provisions of this
Paragraph 3 if the Indemnitee was or is a party to or threatened to be made a party to or otherwise involved in any Proceeding (other than a Proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor) by reason of the
Indemnitee’s Corporate Status or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in connection therewith, against all Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by or on
behalf of the Indemnitee in connection with such Proceeding, if the Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner which the Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation and, with respect to any
criminal Proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not,
of itself, create a presumption that the Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which the Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal Proceeding,
had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. 
 4. Indemnification in Proceedings by or in the Right of the
Corporation. The Corporation shall indemnify the Indemnitee in accordance with the provisions of this Paragraph 4 if the Indemnitee was or is a party to or threatened to be made a party to or otherwise involved in any Proceeding by or in
the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the Indemnitee’s Corporate Status or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in connection therewith, against all Expenses and, to the extent
permitted by law, amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by or on behalf of the Indemnitee in connection with such Proceeding, if the Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner which the Indemnitee reasonably believed to be
in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made under this Paragraph 4 in respect of any claim, issue, or matter as to which the Indemnitee shall have been adjudged to be liable to the
Corporation, unless, and only to the extent, that the Court of Chancery of Delaware or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of such liability but in view of all the
circumstances of the case, the Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such Expenses as the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper. 

  
 2 

 5. Exceptions to Right of Indemnification. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Agreement, except as set forth in Paragraph 10, the Corporation shall not indemnify the Indemnitee in connection with a Proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by the Indemnitee unless the initiation thereof was approved by the Board of
Directors of the Corporation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Corporation shall not indemnify the Indemnitee to the extent the Indemnitee is reimbursed from the proceeds of insurance, and in the event the Corporation
makes any indemnification payments to the Indemnitee and the Indemnitee is subsequently reimbursed from the proceeds of insurance, the Indemnitee shall promptly refund such indemnification payments to the Corporation to the extent of such insurance
reimbursement. 
 6. Indemnification of Expenses of Successful Party. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the
extent that the Indemnitee has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in defense of any Proceeding or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses incurred by or on behalf of the
Indemnitee in connection therewith. Without limiting the foregoing, if any Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein is disposed of, on the merits or otherwise (including a disposition without prejudice), without (i) the disposition
being adverse to the Indemnitee, (ii) an adjudication that the Indemnitee was liable to the Corporation, (iii) a plea of guilty or nolo contendere by the Indemnitee, (iv) an adjudication that the Indemnitee did not act
in good faith and in a manner the Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and (v) with respect to any criminal proceeding, an adjudication that the Indemnitee had reasonable cause to
believe his or her conduct was unlawful, the Indemnitee shall be considered for the purposes hereof to have been wholly successful with respect thereto. 

7. Notification and Defense of Claim. As a condition precedent to the Indemnitee’s right to be indemnified, the Indemnitee must
notify the Corporation in writing as soon as practicable of any Proceeding for which indemnity will or could be sought. With respect to any Proceeding of which the Corporation is so notified, the Corporation will be entitled to participate therein
at its own expense and/or to assume the defense thereof at its own expense, with legal counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee. After notice from the Corporation to the Indemnitee of its election so to assume such defense, the Corporation
shall not be liable to the Indemnitee for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with such Proceeding, other than as provided below in this Paragraph 7. The Indemnitee shall have the right to employ
his or her own counsel in connection with such Proceeding, but the fees and expenses of such counsel incurred after notice from the Corporation of its assumption of the defense thereof shall be at the expense of the Indemnitee unless (i) the
employment of counsel by the Indemnitee has been authorized by the Corporation, (ii) counsel to the Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest or position on any significant issue between the Corporation
and the Indemnitee in the conduct of the defense of such Proceeding or (iii) the Corporation shall not in fact have employed counsel to assume the defense of such Proceeding, in each of which cases the fees and expenses of counsel for the
Indemnitee shall be at the expense of the Corporation, except as otherwise expressly provided by this Agreement. The Corporation shall not be entitled, without the consent of the Indemnitee, to assume the defense of any claim brought by or in the
right of the Corporation or as to which counsel for the Indemnitee shall have reasonably made the conclusion provided for in clause (ii) above. The Corporation shall not be required to indemnify the Indemnitee under

  
 3 

 
this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any Proceeding effected without its written consent. The Corporation shall not settle any Proceeding in any manner which would impose any
penalty or limitation on the Indemnitee without the Indemnitee’s written consent. Neither the Corporation nor the Indemnitee will unreasonably withhold or delay their consent to any proposed settlement. 

8. Advancement of Expenses. Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 9 of this Agreement, in the event that the Corporation does not
assume the defense pursuant to Paragraph 7 of this Agreement of any Proceeding of which the Corporation receives notice under this Agreement, any Expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Indemnitee in defending such Proceeding shall be paid by
the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such Proceeding; provided, however, that the payment of such Expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Indemnitee in advance of the final disposition of such Proceeding shall be
made only upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay all amounts so advanced in the event that it shall ultimately be determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in
this Agreement. Such undertaking shall be accepted without reference to the financial ability of the Indemnitee to make repayment. 
 9.
Procedure for Indemnification. In order to obtain indemnification or advancement of Expenses pursuant to Paragraphs 3, 4, 6 or 8 of this Agreement, the Indemnitee shall submit to the Corporation a written request. Any such indemnification or
advancement of Expenses shall be made promptly, and in any event within 30 days after receipt by the Corporation of the written request of the Indemnitee, unless with respect to requests under Paragraphs 3, 4 or 8 the Corporation determines within
such 30-day period that the Indemnitee did not meet the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Paragraph 3 or 4, as the case may be. Such determination, and any determination that advanced Expenses must be repaid to the Corporation, shall
be made in each instance (a) by a majority vote of the directors of the Corporation consisting of persons who are not at that time parties to the Proceeding (“disinterested directors”), whether or not a quorum, (b) by a committee
of disinterested directors designated by a majority vote of disinterested directors, whether or not a quorum, (c) if there are no disinterested directors, or if the disinterested directors so direct, by independent legal counsel (who may, to
the extent permitted by applicable law, be regular legal counsel to the Corporation) in a written opinion, or (d) by the stockholders of the Corporation. 

10. Remedies. The right to indemnification or advancement of Expenses as provided by this Agreement shall be enforceable by the
Indemnitee in any court of competent jurisdiction. Unless otherwise required by law, the burden of proving that indemnification is not appropriate shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation to have made a determination prior
to the commencement of such action that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because the Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct, nor an actual determination by the Corporation pursuant to Paragraph 9 that the Indemnitee
has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct. The Indemnitee’s expenses (of the type described in the definition of
“Expenses” in Paragraph 2(c)) reasonably incurred in connection with successfully establishing the Indemnitee’s right to indemnification, in whole or in part, in any such Proceeding shall also be indemnified by the Corporation.

  
 4 

 11. Partial Indemnification. If the Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this
Agreement to indemnification by the Corporation for some or a portion of the Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties or amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by or on behalf of the Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding but
not, however, for the total amount thereof, the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify the Indemnitee for the portion of such Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties or amounts paid in settlement to which the Indemnitee is entitled. 

12. Subrogation. In the event of any payment under this Agreement, the Corporation shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to
all of the rights of recovery of the Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required and take all action necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such documents as are necessary to enable the Corporation to bring suit to enforce
such rights. 
 13. Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall continue until and terminate upon the later of (a) six years after
the date that the Indemnitee shall have ceased to serve as a director of the Corporation or, at the request of the Corporation, as a director, officer, partner, trustee, member, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust, limited liability company or other enterprise or (b) the final termination of all Proceedings pending on the date set forth in clause (a) in respect of which the Indemnitee is granted rights of indemnification or advancement of
Expenses hereunder and of any proceeding commenced by the Indemnitee pursuant to Paragraph 10 of this Agreement relating thereto. 

14. Indemnification Hereunder Not Exclusive. The indemnification and advancement of Expenses provided by this Agreement shall not be
deemed exclusive of any other rights to which the Indemnitee may be entitled under the Certification of Incorporation, the By-Laws, any other agreement, any vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, the General Corporation Law of Delaware,
any other law (common or statutory), or otherwise, both as to action in the Indemnitee’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding office for the Corporation. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to
prohibit the Corporation from purchasing and maintaining insurance, at its expense, to protect itself or the Indemnitee against any expense, liability or loss incurred by it or the Indemnitee in any such capacity, or arising out of the
Indemnitee’s status as such, whether or not the Indemnitee would be indemnified against such expense, liability or loss under this Agreement; provided that the Corporation shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment of amounts
otherwise indemnifiable hereunder if and to the extent that the Indemnitee has otherwise actually received such payment under any insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise. 

15. No Special Rights. Nothing herein shall confer upon the Indemnitee any right to continue to serve as a director of the Corporation
for any period of time or at any particular rate of compensation. 
 16. Savings Clause. If this Agreement or any portion thereof
shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify the Indemnitee as to Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement with respect to any Proceeding to
the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Agreement that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

 17. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of
which shall constitute the original. 
 18. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Corporation and its
successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the estate, heirs, executors, administrators and personal representatives of the Indemnitee. 

19. Headings. The headings of the paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute
part of this Agreement or to affect the construction thereof. 
 20. Modification and Waiver. This Agreement may be amended from time
to time to reflect changes in Delaware law or for other reasons. No supplement, modification or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by both of the parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this
Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provision hereof nor shall any such waiver constitute a continuing waiver. 

21. Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been
