Seeking research funding is an increasingly competitive process and preparing a successful grant application can be a challenging and time-consuming exercise. This session will provide a practical overview of applying for research support in the social sciences from three high-profile funders of social, economic, and policy research. The panel includes (1) program staff from three of the nation’s most prominent private funders supporting social and policy-relevant research, and (2) academic scholars who have applied for and received funding as well as served as reviewers for the process. Funder panelists will discuss their respective funding priorities, the grant writing and review process and the basics of what makes a good grant proposal, processes for developing ideas for funding and budgeting, and resources that specify what to include in research proposals. With extensive experience evaluating proposals as part of the grant-making process, funder panelists will discuss how to develop and write a sound grant application from the perspective of a funding organization. Scholar panelists will discuss and provide insights about the application and review process from the grant-seeking side. A key focus will be on tips for good grant-writing – the specifics of what often makes for a good grant proposal and the mistakes that grant-seekers should avoid in drafting an application.
