Identifying Potential Funders
There are a variety of resources to assist you in searching for sources of funding based on your areas of research interest and expertise.
- Links to major research sponsors (NSF, IES, Spencer)
- Funding Search Databases & Alerts
- Corporate & Foundation Funding Sources
The Associate Dean for Research and Engagement and your Department Chair are available to meet with you, to help you target your search for research support. To make these conversations as productive as possible, please bring:
- Your research agenda
- If applicable, sponsor requirements and deadlines
Contacting a potential sponsor’s program officer can be very helpful in developing a successful proposal. Discuss with the Associate Dean and your Department Chair who is best positioned to make this contact.
