GUIDES TO GRANT WRITING Many federal agencies include guidance on writing successful grant proposals on their web sites. For ex. the National Science Foundation (NSF) has many documents which are useful to researchers in all disciplines. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has a section called “Grant Writing Tip Sheets”. The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) Web site has a section on developing and writing grants proposals. The Foundation Center’s Learning Lab has a proposal writing short course providing basic information for all fundraisers, academic and non-profit.

LOCAL PARTNERSHIPS Consider county and municipal agencies as partners/collaborators Many lack the funding to provide grants, but would welcome an opportunity to collaborate on a project that is routed in the community that they service. Benefit: Geographic restrictions limit competitive pool. Local county agencies typically release public requests for proposals

CONNECTING WITH PRIVATE FUNDERS Professional/Scientific Societies Professional Conferences Journals/Publications Alumni from your doctoral program Industry researchers graduate from the same programs!
