Grants and funding workshops for graduate students and faculty

Finding Funding for Graduate Students
Need funding to do your dissertation work?  Perhaps a fellowship or scholarship for graduate school? A graduate internship over the summer? This hands-on workshop will present an overview of several academic funding databases available to you that can assist in getting research, fellowship, and other grants. University members have online access to resources that list and describe thousands of current funding opportunities from the Federal government, foundations, professional societies, and other sources. We will do hands-on work with the various resources, learn how to develop sound search strategies, and learn about establishing email alerts for new grants.

Finding Funding for Race-Related Research and Projects

A University Library Workshop in Conjunction with the Theme Semester on Race

Does your research and/or programmatic efforts involve aspects of race? Do you need to find funding to help support these efforts? There is so much information on the Web, and it is time-consuming to plow through endless government and foundation websites. Even experienced researchers are having a hard time finding funding as federal sources of funding have become much more competitive.

Join librarians as we share strategies for finding funding, and demonstrate several campus-wide subscription-based funding databases with themes of race woven throughout the class. You will have time to look for your own funders using these resources. We will show you how to develop the best search strategies, and how to sign up for email alerts for future funding that fit your needs.

Please sign up for just one of the following workshops (they are identical):

March
Wednesday, March 13, 12noon-1:30pm, University Library Instruction Center (Room 4059 Shapiro Library, 4th floor)

April
Wednesday, April 3, 4-5:30pm, University Library Instruction Center (Room 4059 Shapiro Library, 4th floor)
