With the changes in research funding over the last two years, many scientists have seen their grants cut, and new applications are not delivering the desired outcomes. Government-run agencies are no longer the primary funding sources.
As more philanthropic foundations invest millions of dollars in research they care about, the way scientists frame their scientific questions will need to meet new rules and expectations.
Collaboration with private pharmaceutical and biotech companies is another viable funding source, but this too comes with its own set of rules.
Ellen Kuwana, MS, is an award-winning science writer who wrote and edited more than 500 scientific articles and dozens of federal grant proposals. Ellen will draw on this experience to guide scientists through today's shifting funding landscape, sharing practical strategies for identifying new funding sources and crafting proposals that meet the expectations of government agencies, philanthropies, and corporate sponsors.
What you will learn by watching:
-Beyond NIH and government agencies, discover the growing role of philanthropies and corporate sponsorships.
-What philanthropies and companies are looking for, and how to reframe proposals accordingly.
-Pitfalls to avoid when writing funding requests, plus tools to help you adapt to evolving funding structures.
-How to keep pursuing funding opportunities even as the rules shift, and why continued effort still pays off.
