presented by Lauren Martin, PhD

Research in the health sciences often focuses on obtaining funds from the National Institutes of Health. As an Anthropologist who conducts participatory action research, I have had to seek a wide range of funds to support my work. In this session I will share some strategies I have used to obtain research funding from private foundation grants, government contracts, and federal funding through the National Institute of Justice and National Science Foundation. I hope to spark a lively discussion where attendees share tips and strategies so we can all learn from each other to improve our grant-getting.
