Finding Funding — Research at the New School

Finding Funding

The Office of Research Support (ORS) works directly with faculty to determine what available funding opportunities match their research needs and priorities. ORS can navigate the many federal, foundation, and internal funding sources and funding search databases and create a prospectus of customized opportunities to keep you apprised of notable funding opportunities.

The ORS has developed resources and information to facilitate a funding search. We are also available to work directly with faculty and administrators to conduct customized funding searches based on specific funding needs and priorities.

If you are looking for funding for a project and would like the Office of Research Support to provide you with a personalized PI prospectus with funding opportunities to fit your specific project, please email researchsupport@newschool.edu.

+ Grant Writing Institute

The purpose of the Grant Writing Institute is to jump-start each participant’s work on a grant proposal, with the goal that it can be completed and submitted after the summer.

In the GWI, staff members from the Office of Research Support Staff will collaborate with principal investigators (PI’s) as a cohort working on concrete grant proposals.

The GWI is especially designed for those who have already:

attended the Faculty Development Workshop series on research (parts 1 through 3),
have a grant proposal concept,
selected a sponsor opportunity to apply to (from a Prospectus created by Office of Research Support or your own lists),
intend to have the project housed at The New School (as the fiscal agent),
have Principal Investigator (PI) status (or have coordinated with an eligible faculty or staff member who can be PI)

If you are interested in attending, please confirm your reservation by emailing researchsupport@newschool.edu.
