Presentation transcript:

The approach Sally described has made a huge, huge difference, many, many times The most common first question – How do I write a great proposal?

Volunteer to review proposals / serve on panels. Why? Additional Thoughts: Don’t you hate it when students turn in work that does not match the assignment and grading rubric?

Consider linking research to teaching / “broader impacts” and vice versa Additional Thoughts: Even if it is not required, it can be a significant competitive advantage and is often helpful for T&P.

But what do I propose and to which funding source? things you’d love to do things important for T&P things they want to fund

It’s not rocket science (unless that’s your field ), Investigate a range of funding sources for this

WALK, JOG, RUN #1 Ohio Environmental Education Fund, $4,741 #2 Northeast Ohio Inter-Institutional Urban Research Consortium $14,956 #5 Great Lakes Basin Program for Soil Erosion and Sediment Control $35,000 #8 National Science Foundation, $89,834 #12, $100K #24 $600K # 39 $1.2M Over-achieve on the initial small grants to show funders you provide great return on investment!

Maximize Your Odds I SUBMIT MULTIPLE PROPOSALS PER YEAR FREQUENT, HIGH QUALITY SHOTS ON GOAL SHOOT AT SEVERAL GOALS AND ALWAYS LOOK FOR NEW GOALS THAT POP UP REVISE & RESUBMIT, REVISE & RESUBMIT JOIN / MAKE TEAMS FOR SOME PROPOSALS

why interdisciplinary teams? (semantics - they are usually transdisciplinary) How many grand challenges can be solved using only one discipline? The previous generation did all of the easy stuff within the discipline, the new frontier is … Most funding agencies have increasingly focused $ on interdisciplinary teams It’s fun and productive to bring new methods and perspectives to your work through collaborators It opens up new funding sources and new areas for your interests and talent that would not be possible on your own But don’t I have to be sole PI for T&P?

I don’t just say it, I do it … Agricultural and Biological Engineering Geography Political Science Curriculum and Instruction Agronomy Geology Physics Technology Urban Planning Forestry and Natural Resources Atmospheric Science Biology Statistics Food Science Civil Engineering Agricultural Economics my co-authors and co-PIs include: in multiple institutions and countries. Right now I have snuck away from ……
