Funding Opportunities

Thousands of private and government agencies make grants to individual scholars and academic institutions. The first step to successful grant-seeking is finding the entity with interests that best fit the goals of your project. The process of looking for the right grant opportunity for you can be frustrating (at least once you will find an initiative that is tailor-made for your project, but not your career stage, not for people in Virginia etc) but it can also be truly invigorating. You will see that investment in scholarship is alive and well and, eventually, you will find the right organization for your submission.
