April 2023 Research Development & Grant Writing Newsletter
by Iwan Notowidigdo
Greetings Colleagues,
I am forwarding the April 2023 Research Development & Grant Writing Newsletter by Academic Research Funding Strategies, LLC. The newsletter is provided through a subscription by the Office of the Vice President for Research, Economic Development, and Knowledge Enterprise (REDKE) solely for the use of the UTSA community. Although you may share it with your students, please do not post it on a public website or disseminate it outside the UTSA community.
In this issue (from ARFS):
April 2023 Select List of Humanities, HSS, and Arts Opportunities & News – We list funding opportunities for scholars in the humanities, social sciences and the arts.
NEH Infrastructure/Capacity-Building Challenge Grants – NEH Challenge grants are different from other NEH grants and fellowships. We discuss those differences.
Editing the Research Narrative for Importance – When writing your research narrative, it’s important to remember that space and the reviewer’s attention span are both limited. We discuss how to determine the relative hierarchy of importance of information to be included in the research narrative.
U.S. Biotechnology and Biomanufacturing: The White House Vision for a Whole-of-Government Approach – The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy has released a report describing goals for the National Biotechnology and Biomanufacturing Initiative, coauthored by DOE, USDA, Dept. of Commerce, DHHS, and NSF. We provide an overview of research goals laid out by the various agencies.
Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs – CDMRP funds disease-focused research, but it’s organized very differently compared to NIH. We provide an overview of CDMRP research programs.
CDMRP Program Funding Opportunities – We list CDMRP funding opportunities and provide links for more information.
Fully Respond to the ARPA-(H)eilmeier Questions – ARPA-H, our newest federal research funding agency held a webinar on April 4th. We provide an overview of the topics covered.
How a Good Website Can Help Faculty Win Grants – We discuss why faculty should maintain a good research website (reprinted from the May 2015 issue).
Mission Agency Common Denominators – This article covers common features of mission agencies (reprinted from the May 2018 issue.
If you would like to discuss any of the information in the newsletter in preparation for a grant submission, please let me know.
Thank you.
