NURS
531: From A to $$, Getting Started with Grants
http://healthlinks.washington.edu/rfs/talks/nurs531.html
|
Basics:
Looking for Funding
Start Locally
Funding Databases for Federal
and Private Funding
National Institutes of Health
- Rankings of Schools of Nursing
for NIH Funding, http://grants1.nih.gov/grants/award/trends/dhenrsg02.htm
- Non-U.S. citizens don't
qualify for U.S. Federal funding while in training, but may qualify later
on or collaborate with U.S.-based researchers.
- Extramural Funding: funding
for research that is done outside of an agency or organization. For example,
National Institutes of Health (NIH) intramural research is done in its own
laboratories, but NIH's extramural funding goes to universities and labs
outside of NIH. So you want to focus on the National Institute of Nursing
Research's Division of Extramural Activities, http://www.nih.gov/ninr/research/dea.html
- Institutes and Offices
lists the Web sites of all of the NIH Institutes and Centers, http://www.nih.gov/icd/
- Are You an Individual?
Don't worry if a grant source says it doesn't fund individuals. If you are
at the University of Washington, you are applying as part of a nonprofit institution.
There are times when you should consider yourself an individual, e.g., http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-02-019.html
- CRISP lists grants already
funded by NIH. Use this to test the originality of your ideas, find the best
institute to fund your grant, the best study section to review it, and the
most appropriate funding mechanism, http://crisp.cit.nih.gov/
- Program Officer: person
to contact at an agency or organization to ask questions about the funding
opportunity. Often called a Program Director, Branch or Section Chief, Group
Leader, Vice President for Research, etc.
- NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts
is the weekly newsletter for all official NIH announcements. This is the
best place to keep up with NIH and find program officers. The table of contents
is available by email, http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/index.html
Private Funding
- There is no one "best way"
to find nonfederal opportunities. Use many sources--databases, books, acknowledgements
in research papers, colleagues, etc.
- Other sources: FundSource
or the Directory of International Grants and Fellowships in the Health
Sciences, http://healthlinks.washington.edu/rfs/sources.html
- CINAHL, http://healthlinks.washington.edu/databases/nursing.html.
In Ovid CINAHL, click the "Search Fields" icon and then click in
the checkbox before "Grant Information." If you then do a search,
the grant information will be displayed.
- There
are many types of private funding sources:
National Foundations: e.g., Robert Wood
Johnson Foundation
Special Interest Foundations: e.g., Joseph
P. Kennedy Foundation (for mental retardation)
Alliances of Organizations:
e.g., NABCO (National Alliance of Breast Cancer Organizations)
Professional Societies: e.g., American
College of …(Some administer grants for others.)
Corporate Foundations:
e.g., Microsoft Corporation (Keep in mind that funding is different from the
Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation).
Family Foundations: e.g., Ford Foundation
(Started by the Ford family and has no connection with the Ford Motor Company.)
Community Foundations: e.g., Seattle Foundation
Community Groups/Private Interest
Groups: e.g., Elks, sororities, MG Car Club, etc.
