Developing a successful proposal

If you don't have a specific funder in mind, begin with Internet research sources, and start with more general, searchable databases such as these:

• Foundation Center - Includes thousands of funding agencies that are searchable by keyword, subject, geographic area, etc.
  
  
• GrantsNet - a resource for finding funding agencies for training in the biomedical sciences and undergraduate science education. Supported by HHMI and AAAS.
  
  
• National Science Foundation - All proposals must be submitted online through the FastLane system, with final submission by the provost or grants coordinator.
  
  
• Indiana Humanities Council - gives grants to conduct public programs dealing with the humanities, especially those strengthening communities through leadership, education, or culture
  
  
• National Endowment for the Humanities
  
  
• National Institutes of Health
  
  
• Department of Health and Human Services
  
  
• Wabash Center for Teaching and Learning in Theology and Religion
