Since 2003, the UMass Amherst Center for Research on Familiies (CRF) has offered its groundbreaking Family Research Scholars Program, which provides selected UMass Amherst and Five Colleges faculty with time and technical expertise, opportunities for peer mentorship, and national expert consultation to prepare a large grant proposal in support of their research.
Family Research Scholars participate in a year-long interdisciplinary faculty seminar that includes presentations and discussions of the Scholars’ developing proposals, concrete instruction on the details of successful proposal submission and the resources of the University, individualized methodology consultation, and information about relevant funding agencies.
