Grant Opportunities & News You Can Use

Hello, faculty, Congratulations on making it to the end of the semester! We’ve been impressed with how much grace and good humor everyone has brought to this situation. Before jumping into our offerings, I want to pause and thank one of the hidden forces that keeps our office running—our work study student, Janis McAllister. Janis is graduating this year with a BA in English. She has worked for us for the last three years and has been completely invaluable. She has taken care of a thousand tiny tasks that people rarely see but keep our team afloat, from updating deadlines in newsletter, to fixing the links in the faculty handbook, to doing preliminary research into faculty funding prospects. From all of us on the Inside this issue IFSR team: Thank you, Janis. We will miss you and wish you all the best.

Featured Funder Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard The real problem facing women, Mary Ingraham Bunting-Smith complained in a 1961 article in Time, was the persistent “climate of unexpectation” that surrounded them. “Adults ask little boys what they want to do when they grow up. They ask little girls where they got that pretty dress. We don't care what women do with their education. Why, we don't even care if they learn to be good mothers.” At the time of the interview, Bunting was only one year into what would become a twelve year tenure as President of Radcliffe College, and had just established the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study to halt the exodus of highly talented, educated women from the workforce—a loss that she acerbically described as a “prodigious national extravagance.” Bunting, who went by Polly, was born in 1910 in Brooklyn, NY. Her father worked as a lawyer, while her mother served as the head of the YWCA and helped found the United Service Organization, (USO). Bunting attended Vassar College and graduated in 1931, before positively whizzing through her graduate education at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, which awarded her a master’s degree in agricultural bacteriology in 1932 and a PhD in 1934. In 1937 she married Henry Bunting, who went on to teach pathology at Yale University School of Medicine. Bunting researched and taught part-time while raising their four children until, in 1954, her husband died unexpectedly of a brain tumor. Yale, where Bunting was working at the time, refused to entertain the idea of hiring a woman full time, so Bunting, now a widow with four children, took a job first as Dean of Douglass College at Rutgers, then, in 1960, as President of Radcliffe. While at Radcliffe, Bunting transformed the relationship between Radcliffe and Harvard. During her tenure, Radcliffe students began receiving joint degrees with Harvard and the Radcliffe Graduate School merged with Harvard’s. The Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study was renamed the Mary Ingraham Bunting Institute in 1978, and then returned to its original name and expanded in 1999 when Radcliffe and Harvard formally merged. Today the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Studies at Harvard is open to men and women alike. In addition to serving as a research center for Harvard faculty and graduate students, the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Studies offers a variety of opportunities for visiting faculty. The first isthe Radcliffe Fellowship Program. “The Radcliffe Fellowship Program awards 50 fellowships each academic year. Applicants may apply as individuals or in a group of two to three people working on the same project. We seek diversity along many dimensions, including discipline, career stage, race and ethnicity, country of origin, gender and sexual orientation, and ideological perspective.” Funding: $77,500, with an extra $5,000 for research. Deadline: TBA; Previously September 2019. The Schlesinger Library on the History of Women in America offers other opportunities. Currently, the library a Mellon-Schlesinger Summer Research Grant. “The grant will fund up to three eight-week residencies each June–July in 2019, 2020, and 2021 for researchers doing advanced work on gender and suffrage, voting rights, citizenship, or other related topics.” Funding: $15k. Deadline: TBA. In addition to the Mellon grant, the Schlesinger Library also offers a dedicated Oral History Grant. “The Schlesinger Library invites scholars who are conducting oral history interviews relevant to the history of women or gender in the United States to apply for support of up to $3K.” Deadline: TBA. Finally, $3,000 Research Support Grants are available to “scholars and other serious researchers at any career stage beyond graduate school…who have demonstrated research productivity and whose projects require use of materials available only at the Schlesinger Library.” Deadline: TBA

2 Return to table of contents Sage Advice for Competitive Proposals How the Barnard Sponsored Research Office Can Help First published May 14, 2018 by Kari Steeves. Updated May 25, 2020. Maybe “Useful Information” would be a better title for this installment aimed to give you a sampling of what we in Barnard Sponsored Research can do for you, our esteemed faculty. We are here to help you accomplish your research and project goals, both inside and outside the classroom and lab. You can use us to lesser or greater degrees in any of the following ways. Do You Need Funding?  We regularly meet with faculty, as needed, to gain an understanding of research needs and goals. It’s not necessary to wait until you have a fully formed proposal. We can begin with a brainstorm- ing session.  Provide research on possible funding sources that might suit your project and stage of develop- ment. Many funders offer planning grants to enable scholars to build an idea, run a trial, or pre- pare the groundwork of a potentially more ambitious project.  As you narrow down the list of opportunities to which you’d like to apply, we can also provide more detailed profiles of specific funders or requests for proposal (RFP).  Nearly every article we’ve profiled on this advice page has emphasized the wisdom of having multi- ple readers preview your draft proposal. We’re happy to serve as one of those readers.  We can work closely with you throughout the application process to help you think through budg- ets, timelines, and ways to present your work that might align with the funder’s or RFP’s aims.  Government agencies and certain other funders sometimes have complex applications. We can help you navigate them.  We can handle the online submission requirements, such as converting to pdf, after a careful re- view, and uploading. After We Click Submit  Some organizations and agencies engage in a“ just in time” process or conversation before formally granting an award. We are available to assist you through that process. If the News is Good  Sponsored Research can answer questions about administrative compliance, accounting, and re- ports to assist faculty in meeting grant requirements in a timely way.  If we don’t have answers to your post-award questions, we can work with the relevant department to find the answers.  We work with colleagues in Finance and the Provost’s Office should post-award problems arise. At Any Time Do you have a professional-development related topic you’d like to explore in a workshop? We would be happy to make that happen. Some workshops we have hosted in the past include Grants 101, Fi- nancial Management, and an overview of the federal funding landscape.  We are also open to assisting in any other way we can. Just shoot us an email or give us a call.  Mark Godwin, Director, Sponsored Research: [email protected] 212-870-2525.  Pamela Tuffley, Associate Director, Sponsored Research: [email protected] 212-870-2526  Liane Carlson , Institutional Funding Research Officer: [email protected] 212-870-2524. We invite you to reach out to us at any point in your funding process. As the advice columns always say, the earlier the better. We love to hear from you!
