News You Can Use

Barnard College Office of Institutional Funding

Hello faculty,

Don’t miss our News section this edition! It has instructions for signing up

for Pivot, a subscription service that Columbia is making available to us for

researching grant opportunities. This is the sort of thing that sends a

twitter of excitement among us over here in Institutional Funding and

Sponsored Research.

Also, see our myth-busting Feature on the Fulbright Scholars Program and

some Sage Advice on why, when, and how to contact a funding agency

program officer. As usual we profile opportunities due three or so months

out—in this case, early January.

Beginning on page twelve, we list all deadlines through April, grouped by

discipline.

Upcoming deadlines for INTERNAL grants are November 20th and January

31st. See the Barnard website, here, for more information.

For deadlines throughout the year, see the Grants Calendar, perpetually in

progress, on the Barnard website at External Grant Opportunities. You

can download a copy of your very own to sort, search, and filter at will.

Institutional Funding and Sponsored Research is now on Twitter! Follow

or tag us at @BarnardIFSR. We’re not big tweeters, but we hope to be

prolific retweeters, especially of good news.

If you would like assistance in finding grants for an upcoming project or

would like to begin an application process, please contact Kari Steeves. As

always, feel free to send any comments, requests, or suggestions to

Fulbright Scholar Program

As I’m sure you’re aware, the Fulbright Scholar Program is among the most competitive and

prestigious fellowships available—actually an exchange program administered by the Council for

International Exchange of Scholars (CIES) for the United States Department of State. It is meant to

foster understanding and peaceful, friendly relations between the U.S. and other countries. CIES has

published “Ten Myths About Fulbright,” in case you subscribe to some. An overarching theme is that a

lot depends on the host country, including decidedly non-mythical deadlines. Open opportunities may

be found here.

Myth 1: Fulbrights are only for senior faculty.

In fact, “many seek and accept a range of scholars, including adjunct faculty.” There are even Fulbright

awards for non-academic professionals—artists, lawyers, journalists, musicians, filmmakers, scientists,

and engineers.

Myth 2: Accepting a Fulbright means leaving your family behind.

Some countries provide maintenance, travel funds, and sometimes even tuition allowances for

dependents.

Myth 3: A Fulbright Scholar award provides little benefit to the scholar’s home institution.

“Nearly three quarters of returning scholars have initiated educational exchange between home and

host institutions and incorporated aspects of the Fulbright experience into courses and teaching

methods.”

Myth 4: Only faculty from large universities are awarded Fulbrights.

“currently the program is mounting special outreach efforts to attract more applicants from liberal arts

colleges, community colleges and minority-serving institutions.”

Myth 5: Fulbrights are only for research.

“Just 24 percent of Fulbright Scholar awards are for research only. Most Fulbrights are for lecturing or

combined lecturing and research.”

Myth 6: You have to speak a foreign language fluently in order to apply.

Actually, most grants require English, especially lecturing grants. Of course, the particulars of your

research may hinge upon knowing another language.

Myth 7 Fulbright grants require an invitation from a host institution overseas.

While this may be true for some countries, “CIES, in collaboration with overseas Fulbright Commissions

and Public Affairs Sections at U.S. embassies, can help you make connections with possible host

institutions, if the country requires it.”

Myth 8: Fulbright awards are all for one academic year.

In general, awards cover as little as two months and as much as a year. Sometimes Fulbrights can be

extended longer than a year.

Myth 9: You have to be on sabbatical to afford a Fulbright Scholar award.

“It is possible,” says CIES, “to live comfortably on stipends for a number of the grants offered.”

Myth 10: Applying for a Fulbright is a time-consuming, grueling exercise.

CIES promises they are “streamlin[ing] our online application” so that it is no more strenuous than

“most grant programs.” CIES hosts webinars regularly to walk applicants through the process. You can

find upcoming and previously recorded webinars on their website.

“Contact Your Program Officer!”

These words seem to constitute something of a mantra at the conferences and webinars this news-

letter writer has attended. So let’s look at why, what, when, and how to contact a program officer,

reaped from pages 47-51 of the handy, “New Faculty Guide, 2nd Edition” published by Columbia’s Fac-

ulty of Arts and Sciences. It’s certainly a good idea, authors Mike Cronan and Lucy Deckard say, if:

(1) “there is a point of ambiguity in the solicitation that you need to clarify;

(2) you need to determine whether your project is appropriate for the funding agency or program and

perhaps solicit advice on how best to present your idea; or

(3) you need to get to know the Program Officer and s/he needs to get to know you.”

Number 2 can be particularly meaningful when “submitting to the wrong program can doom a good

proposal.” At the NSF, where there are a dizzying array of programs and where program officers “see

themselves as mentors to early career researchers,” it might seem anomalous NOT to have at least one

conversation with your program officer.

Keep in mind that program officers “may have very little influence on the funding decision,” (such as at

the NIH) or they “may have almost sole control over which proposals get funded.” At “mission agen-

cies” such as NASA, NOAA, NIST, and the Department of Defense, program officers “see externally-

funded researchers as collaborators helping them to meet the needs of their agency and program. For

that reason, you need to develop an understanding of their needs” and make sure they know you, your

work, and how it can further their mission. Likewise, at small private foundations, POs can have sub-

stantial influence on the selection process, beginning with which proposals are actually seen by the

foundation’s founders or leaders.

Also consider that the freedom and ability of program officers to talk with applicants varies widely be-

tween funding agencies. And they travel a lot. It’s best to reach out first via “email with a short sum-

mary of your research idea and ask to schedule a phone conversation.” Wait a week or so before you

try again. If the first couple emails aren’t fruitful, try leaving a voice mail.

When you do have an opportunity for a real conversation, make sure you come prepared by reading

the RFP thoroughly and looking into what other projects have been funded under the program. Cro-

nan and Deckard advise grant seekers to “take what the program officer has to say seriously, even if

what she’s telling you is not what you want to hear. For example, if the program officer says your re-

search doesn’t fit his program, it’s much better to accept that fact and talk to him about other pro-

grams where it might fit or how your research project could be modified rather than spend time on a

proposal that’s unlikely to succeed.” Cronan and Deckard warn, in boldface type, “do not ask the pro-

gram officer to make speculative comments on the likelihood that your idea will be funded, or to en-

gage in similarly inappropriate discussions.”

Underlying these answers lies a maxim the authors also print in bold: “Timidity is never rewarded in

the grants process, and ambiguities are always punished.” The takeaway? Cast off timidity and clear up

ambiguity with a call to your program officer.

From the National Science Foundation – Biologists irate at NSF’s new one-proposal cap “The National Science Foundation (NSF) in Alexandria, Virginia, has made several tweaks to its grant proposal policies in recent years to keep staff and reviewers from being overwhelmed by the rising number of submissions. But some biologists say the latest change goes too far. Last month, NSF’s biology directorate announced that researchers could submit only one proposal a year in which they are listed as a principal investigator (PI) or co-PI. The cap applies only to the directorate’s three core tracks and excludes several other NSF programs from which many biologists receive support.” If you have questions about this new policies for the Directorate of Biological Sciences, please see the FAQs. NSF Funding: You may know RUI, but have you met ROA? “RUI proposals support PUI faculty in research that engages them in their professional field(s), builds capacity for research at their home institution, and supports the integration of research and undergraduate education. ROAs similarly support PUI faculty research, but these awards typically allow faculty to work as visiting scientists at research-intensive organizations where they collaborate with other NSF-supported investigators. Research Opportunity Awards (ROA). The types of ROA opportunities include: A supplement to an existing NSF award to

support ROA activities for PUI faculty. Requests to rebudget funds in an existing NSF

award to support ROA activities for PUI faculty. Submission of a new collaborative proposal

between a PUI and another institution(s), with a ROA component as a subaward or as part of a linked collaborative proposal.

Prospective PIs should contact disciplinary program officers to identify specific NSF programs
