Description
Funding your research is a serious competitive enterprise. Based on a long career of collaborative research and instruction in the natural sciences and engineering, mentoring colleagues, and finally serving as Director of Research Development for Science and Engineering at the University of California, Santa Barbara, Dr. Kowel offers a strategy for identifying funding targets, contacting them, and developing appropriate proposals for federal and private foundations. Specific advice is provided for the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, Department of Defense agencies, as well as for prominent private sources, such as the Packard, Sloan, and Keck Foundations.
Whether you are starting your career or considering new research directions; whether you are working alone or considering leading a major collaboration, you will find practical suggestions to help you focus on finding the right funding source and creating a well crafted proposal that will stand up to peer review.
