FUNDING
SOURCE IDENTIFICATION
There are hundreds of potential funding agencies involved in supporting
research, training, construction, curriculum development, etc. to which
the University of Colorado can and does submit proposals. Historically,
federal government agencies have been the source of approximately 90%
of UCB's sponsored project funds. Numerous other agencies--foundations,
local and national corporations, state and local governments, foreign
corporations and governments, etc.--are also potential sources of interest
and funds for research and other projects.
OCG assists in the search for appropriate funding sources in several
ways:
- OCG continuously reviews numerous source materials for funding opportunity
announcements and for new information about potential funding agencies
and their programs, requirements, and deadlines.
- OCG maintains a "Faculty Interest Profile" system which
allows matching of individual faculty interests with funding opportunity
announcements.
- OCG subscribes to a national computerized funding opportunities data
base through IRIS (link above),
which allows campus personnel to perform computer searches, for potential
funding sources specific to an individual's interests.
- OCG continuously mails specific funding opportunity announcements
to department chairs, institute directors, and individual faculty, as
appropriate.
- OCG personnel provide up-to-date information regarding deadlines,
names, addresses, telephone numbers, and application forms.
- OCG staff maintain a funding opportunity resource library that includes
several standard directories of major funding sources and guides for
proposal writing.
- OCG personnel familiar with current and emerging contract and grant
opportunities, relevant federal and state legislation, and other related
matters provide personal assistance at OCG and are available to conduct
workshops and help sessions for groups of faculty at individual department
offices.
- OCG has several video tapes offering suggestions on proposal writing,
potential funding sources, and "grantsmanship" (these tapes
include one of an OCG-sponsored workshop for science faculty and one
of an OCG-sponsored workshop for arts and humanities faculty).
