- 10. • To focuson research and/or writing • To advance knowledge in your field • National recognition and prestige • A lifetime professional network • Professional development opportunities • To demonstrate your ability to win grants for academic job applications Doctoral student grants & fellowships can allow you:
- 11. • Grants canbe used for training, travel, work buy- outs, supplies, hourly staff, tuition, graduate assistantships. • Funds can be used to complete a dissertation or conduct small research projects. • Funding agencies exist to advance research and/or practice within an area. • Foundations are required to spend their funds. • Start small, “earn” your way up to larger awards. What role can grants (or other external funds) play in my career?
- 12. A little planning An exciting idea Asupport network • If you’re seeking funding for your dissertation, you will do or have already done (most of) the work. • Grant writing skills are valued no matter your role. • Turning your idea into a competitive grant proposal takes: Why not?
- 13. Your opportunity should matchwith these four areas: Money research funding is available Eligibility you’re ready and meet requirements Fit your research interests map to RFP Time a competitive proposal can be written in the time available
- 14. Internal Funding • Yourdepartment / college / program / organization • Research entities on campus (grant administration, other departments) • Institution-wide opportunities External Funding • Databases • Regional foundations • Professional organizations & associations • Government entities Money … is there research funding available? IRTL’s Focus
- 15. Early Stage Funds tuition andfees, as well as a stipend for living for early doctoral students Pre- Dissertation Funds research and experiences that aid research, such as travel, language study, and supplies Dissertation Funds research and experiences that aid research, such as language study, travel, supplies, facility use, and/or stipend for living after the defense of the dissertation proposal to completion Analysis & Write-Up Funds tuition and fees, stipend for living expenses to concentrate mostly or only on writing and completing the dissertation Postdoctoral Funds opportunities toward the development of an academic career Eligibility…are you ready? Think one step ahead!
- 16. • Citizenship? • Comprehensiveexams and/or coursework complete? Degree obtained? • Dissertation proposal defense complete? • Full-time employee vs. faculty member vs. student? • Faculty advisor’s “OK” • Pilot program complete? Collaboration in place? Eligibility …do you meet the sponsor’s requirements?
- 17. Many sponsors havewebsites with helpful information: • What are the sponsor’s goals and priorities? What have they funded in the past? • What is their program focus? population? method? Issue? • Who can I contact for information for assistance, guidance, or advice? • What are the review criteria? • Do they have sample proposals? Fit …does your project match the funder’s goals and priorities?
- 18. • Start early. •Assess your timeline. • When will you complete doctoral program requirements? collect data? conduct analysis? write up? • Can you continue operations until funding would be received? • Do you have time to complete the application? • How long does it take for a decision? When will the funds become available? • Can you reapply? Time ... can a competitive proposal be written in the time available?
- 19. • Work onand develop your research topic and ideas • Talk with faculty members about existing grant and funding opportunities • Utilize College of Education fellowship process (spring) • CoEd Summer Research Fellowships (late fall) • CoEd Summer Research Renewable Fellowships (2 years, late fall) • CoEd Summer Research Development Fellowships (1st year students only; January) • Utilize departmental professional development funds, COGS grants Preparing for External Funding – Years 1-2
- 20. • Coming toan end in courses and have narrowed down topics to one or two potential dissertation ideas. • 1-2 years from dissertation proposal. • Begin exploring funding options. • Consider what you might need funding for (e.g., data collection) and what point in the dissertation process you will need that funding. • Continue conversations with faculty members about opportunities. • CoEd fellowship process (spring) • Identify possible funders and opportunities to catch in next year. • Utilize departmental professional development funds, COGS grants. Preparing for External Funding – Years 2-3
- 21. • Most dissertationfunding proposal due dates are approximately 6 months to 1 year prior to dispersion of funds. Plan ahead within your own work to time application process. • Work on and submit proposals approximate 6 months prior to the due date. Prioritize good quality. Get advisor on board. • For international research projects, begin working on funding proposals 6 months to a year prior to the due date (e.g, affiliation letters, courses, language evaluations). • During data collection/practicum, apply for Research Practicum/Research Development Fellowship (mid fall). • When nearing completion, consider CoEd Dissertation Completion Fellowship (late fall). • Utilize departmental professional development funds, COGS grants. Preparing for External Funding – Years 3-5+
- 22. • International Research:Preparing proposals for international research funding is likely to take more time due to the requirements, begin early. Consider enrolling in fall seminar – International Social Science Research (1-3 cr.) • Working students: Students who work fulltime should be aware that many of the larger are only for fulltime students. Be sure to explore whether or not this is a requirement when searching for grants. • International Students: Some grants are only available to U.S. citizens and permanent residents (e.g., government grants—NSF, Fulbright, NIH). Be sure to explore whether or not this is a requirement when searching for grants. Preparing for External Funding – Notes
