Panel discussion presented by Rob Rafael at the 2011 NSF ADVANCE Workshop: Negotiating the Ideal Faculty Position, A Workshop for Underrepresented PhDs and Postdocs in Science, Engineering and Psychology September 18-20, 2010
Funding is critical
- Must be prepared to work hard to garner funding
- Need more than a great idea, though that is a crucial element
- Need to understand the logistics and the process
- Need to submit more than one grant, so need multiple ideas
- Be creative
- Read deeply and broadly
- Talk to lots of people about research
- Think about doing more than one project
- When one is difficult, the other may succeed
- Increases funding opportunities
- Promotes synergy in thinking
- Enhances visibility
- What are the sources available to you?
- Federal (NSF, NIH, DARPA, DOE, NIST, ONR, among many others)
- State
- Private foundations / not-for-profit organizations
- Industry
- Use the web to retrieve information for each source
- Some more detailed, others more obscure
Find out about resources
- Talk to your advisor, faculty in your department about resources in your area of research and in your institution
- Use the internet
- Search for information on organization, what it supports to determine whether to target for funding
- Search for deadline dates and invitations to apply in a given area
- Search services such as IRIS
(External Link)
- Government agencies have detailed pages
- Easy to get lost
- Ask for help

- Ask what a reasonable budget range would be
- Ask about the role of collaborators in your area of research
How to approach an agency
- Options for contact
- Go in person or make a phone call

explain how nature and nurture affect the development and later the productivity of an individual.
nature is an hereditary factor while nurture is an environmental factor which constitute an individual personality. so if an individual's parent has a deviant behavior and was also brought up in an deviant environment, observation of the behavior and the inborn trait we make the individual deviant.
