  • Julie Boll Higher Education Grant Group I am not familiar with Research grants at a Higher Education institution. On a very basic level, how are the funds used? We have a faculty member interested in educational research. The grant requires an institutional affiliation to be the fiscal agent. Are the funds simply cycled through the institution and used to pay the faculty member and graduate assistants directly? Is this paid as a course release or stipend? The primary expense is going to be time, with some basic supply costs. Are there any other costs that should be considered? Would love any advice and basic direction. Thanks Julie Boll, Quincy, IL (bollju@quincy.edu)

BOARD ALERT: It is a brave new world!

Wednesday, May 23, 2012

You Know You Are A Grant Writer When…

Wednesday, May 16, 2012

Spend enough time in any profession, and the inside jokes that only your peers will typically laugh at annual professional conferences and the like, begin to build up.  After reading Rebecca Shawver’s recent article about why more young professionals are not entering the grant writing field, I stopped to think about some of those common characteristics and traits that those of us who have been in the field for awhile can connect with.

Research for Non-Researchers: Call for Insights!

Wednesday, April 11, 2012

We are working on the next manual in the Prospect Research series, and we need your ideas! The focus of this book is on those of you in fundraising who do not have "research" in your job title. Perhaps you are a small organization and someone adds research projects as an additional activity, or perhaps you do have a researcher but are in need of some ideas for what you can ask them to find for you. This manual will answer those questions and give you a set of resources to use, whether you're doing the research on the fly, or want to ask the best questions of the researchers around you.
