Funding Opportunities for the week of August 21 – August 27, 2020
Reminder: The Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research and Graduate Education (VCRGE) invites applications for its Fall Research Competition. An important goal is that funding investments lead to continued external funding in disciplines where that is possible. Senior faculty, and junior faculty who have received significant prior fall research competition funding and/or significant VCGRE funding, are encouraged to submit proposals that serve as backup support for external grant applications. Alternatively, funding may be requested for pilot studies in new research directions, with the goal of developing preliminary data that will increase the likelihood of competitive extramural support. Apply online – applications are due September 11, 2020.
Reminder: The William T. Grant Foundation Institutional Challenge Grant encourages university-based research institutes, schools, and centers to build sustained research-practice partnerships with public agencies or nonprofit organizations in order to reduce inequality in youth outcomes. Applications are welcome from partnerships in youth-serving areas such as education, justice, child welfare, mental health, immigration, and workforce development. We especially encourage proposals from teams with African American, Latinx, Native American, and Asian American members in leadership roles. The partnership leadership team includes the principal investigator from the research institution and the lead from the public agency or nonprofit organization. Awards are $650,000 over three years to support one to two mid-career research fellows. The applicant must provide institutional support for one research fellow. Applications are due September 10, 2020.
