  • December 4, 2018, Newsletter
    Barnard College Office of Institutional Funding December 4, 2018 Grant Opportunities & News You Can Use Hello Barnard faculty, We aim in our profiles section to post grant opportunities approximately three months ahead of their due date to give you plenty of time to plan, plot, and juggle the various components of a grant proposal. That works well for the many organizations who maintain consistent dates year over year or who announce deadlines with a commensurate lead time. Some, however, announce deadlines at shorter intervals, and that seems especially true during this season when one year rolls into the next. Several opportunities in this newsletter have deadlines in early January through February, so be mindful of the timing. The American Chemical Society takes the featured role in this latest Inside this issue edition of the newsletter. Our Sage Advice draws from Colorado State University’s “Principles of Effective Grantsmanship” blog series.

From the industrial revolution to today’s information age, the United States has led the world in creating the inventions and ideas that drive economic prosperity. America’s universities are responsible for 36 percent of all research in the country, including 53 percent of all basic research, and they help keep America at the forefront of the 21st century economy. The Federal Government has recognized the importance of university research by providing roughly 60 percent of all academic R&D funding. American academic research has benefited from the fact that the US remains a top magnet for the world’s best and brightest students and graduates 16 percent of all PhDs worldwide in scientific and technical fields.
