In a number of instances, NSF, NIH and other funding agencies require that education plans be integrated with research proposals. Examples include career development awards, multi institutional collaborative research programs and certain center initiatives. These agencies also offer supplemental educational funds to individuals with active research awards. Eligible educational initiatives run the gamut from pre-college to graduate level activities and include options to support undergraduate researchers, outreach to under served populations, etc.
Some supplemental requests require only a page or two and funds are relatively easy to obtain.
Others involve more detailed plans and are highly competitive. This session will describe grant programs that either require education plans or provide options for supplemental funding. It will provide background information and practical advice about how to pursue these options and will include examples of campus programs that have been successful in garnering support. The presentation will last approximately one hour. An open discussion period will follow.
