Next Up in Funding Fridays:  April 4, Beyond Federal Funders: A Grant-seeking Workshop for Faculty and Graduate Students in the Social Sciences and Humanities

Many faculty and graduate students are seeking new approaches to fund their research in an uncertain federal funding environment. This session will present information and provide space for strategizing grant searches within private funders, foundations, and non-profits.  It will feature comments and insights from Marco Monoc, Executive Director of UMass Foundation Relations and Heidi Bauer-Clapp, Associate Director for Grants & Fellowships at the UMass Graduate School Office of Professional Development.

About the Funding Fridays Series

Register once, for as many sessions as you need!

Grants funding can be critical to faculty careers, but difficult to pull off on your own given limited time. ISSR invites you to take part in a flexible, 8-session workshop series aimed at motivating, informing, and supporting faculty writing grants for submission.  

Stop by each session for collaborative learning and work sessions that will help you stay on track for your goals, or hop in for only the sessions you need. Our registration form offers you a one-stop chance to sign up for the Funding Fridays sessions that interest you most, all year long. An online option is also available.

  • Missed the start but want to join in? No worries, you can sign up at any time. 
  • Already registered but want to add sessions? Send us an email, and we'll add your selections. 

Participants can self-enroll to the Funding Fridays Canvas course, where you will find a full library of helpful resources for all stages of the grant writing process. New registrants can review past materials, and seek support from ISSR for early stages of grant development.

Sessions meet most Fridays from 11:30 am - 12:45 pm - with food and drinks for those joining in the ISSR Lab, and access on Zoom for those participating online.
