Barbara L. E. Walker: Funding Your Research in the Humanities and Social Sciences, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Funding Your Research in the Humanities and Social Sciences demystifies the process of writing winning research grant and fellowship proposals in the humanities, social sciences, and creative arts. Offering practical guidance, step-by-step instructions, and examples of successful proposals, Walker and Unruh outline the best practices to crack the proposal writing code. They reveal the most common critiques of proposal reviewers and offer advice on how to avoid frequent problem areas in conceptualizing and crafting research proposals. Contributions from agency and foundation program officers offer the perspective from the other side of the proposal submission portal, and emerging research funding trends, including how to navigate generative AI, are also covered. New to this edition are:

• Additional writing prompts, exercises, and tools that give readers hands-on activities to help generate parts of the proposal
• Updated guidance on how to identify appropriate grants
• Updated guidance on key tech skills (data management, timeline, etc.) for application preparation
• A sample budget and budget justification
• Additional "Perspective from program officer" boxes
• Discussion of challenges to interdisciplinary collaborations
• Discussion of how to navigate precarity in the research funding landscape

This book is essential reading for all those involved in funding applications. Graduate students, research administrators, early career faculty members, and tenured professors alike will gain new and effective strategies to write successful research proposals.
