Finding Funding Stephanie Endy AVP for Extramural Funding North Shore-Long Island Jewish Health System
What are you looking for? • Match hypothesis to mission • Match eligibility to your circumstances • Match budget to allowable funds and amount of funding • Match purpose of funds to project deliverables
Where do you look? • Government (Federal, City, & State) • Industry (For-Profit Corporations) • Foundations and other non-profits • Gifts • Databases of funding opportunities • Grants.gov • COS • Spin • Article footnotes • Foundation web sites
National Institutes of Health • Divided into multiple centers and institutes • NICHD, as example • Mission of NICHD: • The NICHD, established by congress in 1962, conducts and supports research on topics related to the health of children, adults, families, and populations. Some of these topics include: • Reducing infant deaths; • Improving the health of women, men, and families; • Understanding reproductive health and fertility/infertility; • Learning about growth and development; • Examining, preventing and treating problems of birth defects and intellectual and developmental disabilities; and • Enhancing well-being of persons through the lifespan with optimal rehabilitation research.
National Institutes of Health • NICHD Support by career stage: http://www.nichd.nih.gov/funding/training_career/by_levelorstage.cfm • NICHD Support by type of project: http://www.nichd.nih.gov/funding/foa/ • Sample Program Announcement Review
City & State • City and State governmental agencies often need research or programs in specific areas • Usually contracted services instead of “pure” research
For Profit Companies • Drug companies often outsource parts of the process between drug discovery and approval for use by the FDA. • Usually contracted work by scientists • Student work can be problematic as terms may prevent publication of work or development of intellectual property
Non-Profit Foundations • Often support research as an integral part of their mission • Funds are usually more restricted than federal funds • Can be as competitive as federal funds • Usually very tight eligibility requirements based on their priorities
A Note on Process • An NSLIJ and most other research institutions, applications are submitted by the institution on behalf of the investigator • Investigator is using institutional resources (facility and administration) • Investigator should not have to account for funds on taxes
Process (cont.) • Central Sponsored Programs/Grants Management/Grants and Contracts offices will be key to managing submission • They will have deadline and eligibility policies that are in addition to sponsor policies • They will require internal institutional approvals before the application can be submitted • They are there to protect both you and the institution
