  1. The most common first question – How do I write a great proposal? The approach Sally described has made a huge, huge difference, many, many times

  2. Additional Thoughts: Volunteer to review proposals / serve on panels. Why? Don’t you hate it when students turn in work that does not match the assignment and grading rubric?

  3. Additional Thoughts: Consider linking research to teaching / “broader impacts” and vice versa Even if it is not required, it can be a significant competitive advantage and is often helpful for T&P.

  4. But what do I propose and to which funding source? things you’d love to do things they want to fund things important for T&P

  5. It’s not rocket science (unless that’s your field ), Investigate a range of funding sources for this

  6. walk, jog, run #1 Ohio Environmental Education Fund, $4,741 #2 Northeast Ohio Inter-Institutional Urban Research Consortium $14,956 #5 Great Lakes Basin Program for Soil Erosion and Sediment Control $35,000 #8 National Science Foundation, $89,834 #12, $100K #24 $600K # 39 $1.2M Over-achieve on the initial small grants to show funders you provide great return on investment!

  7. Maximize Your Odds • I submit multiple proposals per year • frequent, high quality shots on goal • shoot at several goals and always look for new goals that pop up • revise & resubmit, revise & resubmit • join / make teams for some proposals

The previous generation did all of the easy stuff within the discipline, the new frontier is … • Most funding agencies have increasingly focused $ on interdisciplinary teams • It’s fun and productive to bring new methods and perspectives to your work through collaborators • It opens up new funding sources and new areas for your interests and talent that would not be possible on your own But don’t I have to be sole PI for T&P?

  9. I don’t just say it, I do it … • my co-authors and co-PIs include: • Agricultural and Biological Engineering • Geography • Political Science • Curriculum and Instruction • Agronomy • Geology • Physics • Technology • Urban Planning • Forestry and Natural Resources • Atmospheric Science • Biology • Statistics • Food Science • Civil Engineering • Agricultural Economics in multiple institutions and countries. This morning I was working on……
