Competing for Federal Grant Opportunities in the Social Sciences

Center for Excellence in Research Advancement Workshops

Tuesday, November 17, 2009 : 4:00pm to 6:00pm

University Park Campus
Credit Union Building, Room 329

Due to limited space, RSVP is required.


Leora Rosen, director for Social Sciences at USC's D.C. Office of Research Advancement, discusses federal grant opportunities within the social sciences.

The course provides an overview of the types of federal grant opportunities that exist in the social sciences, with a focus on research, but including programmatic grants. It will delve into differences in the interests, missions and goals of the main federal agencies that fund social science, and how this impacts social science research.

We will review steps to take in preparing a grant proposal, including how to be responsive to the goals of solicitation, how to establish collaborations, and how the Office of Research Advancement can help.
