What role can grants (or other
external funds) play in my career?
12. A little
planning
An exciting
idea
A support
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
match with these four areas:
Money
research
funding is
available
Eligibility
you’re ready
and meet
requirements
Fit

• 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?

Fall
Spring
Summer
42. • Work on and 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
43. • Coming to an 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
44. • Most dissertation funding 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 proposals approximately 6 months prior to the due
date. Submit early. 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).
• Prior to and 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+
45. • 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.
