As part of our efforts to monitor the funding landscape and facilitate strategic planning, Hanover produces Grants Calendars centered on certain funding interests. Today's calendar reviews upcoming grant opportunities focused on Early Career Research,covering a range of grantmakers. Short-term targets with set deadlines are included alongside longer-term opportunities expected to occur across the next year and beyond.
Please note: Hanover has included relevant opportunities that continue to be advertised as of the publishing of this newsletter. Given ongoing developments in the federal funding landscape, grant seekers are advised to closely monitor the status of programs and obtain guidance from program staff to confirm accuracy wherever possible.
Unlike most federal grantmakers, foundations can be mysterious and opaque – from the guidelines they publish to the decision making process. For these reasons, cultivating relationships, and nurturing those relationships with foundation funders is paramount. In this session, we’ll cover strategies and engagement practices to successfully develop partnerships with foundation funders.
Grant proposals are often sophisticated, scientifically rich documents. However, review panels frequently include non specialists.This session will dive into how best to engage non-specialist audiences in grant proposals, allowing researchers to communicate the importance of the work without alienating non-subject matter experts.
