GRANT TIPS
Solicited Grants
These grant proposals respond to advertisements called program solications, requests for proposals (RFP), or requests for applications (RFA), which are sent out by funding sources and posted on their websites.
Unsolicited Grants
These grants respond to the mission or objectives of the funding source, not to a specific program or advertisment.
If you are applying to the U.S. Governement, you can find information about solicited and unsolicited grants at grants.gov, Grant Advisor Plus, InfoEd, or the websites of federal agencies.
Foundation and corporate opportunities can be located through the Community of Science (www.cos.com) or similar grant search engines, including Grant Advisor and InfoEd.
GRANT TRENDS
Increasingly, the federal government has been interested in supporting collaborative research among industry, universities, and research laboratories. When private and public researchers collaborate, the chances are better that research will turn into applications or products. Right now, the most competitive grants seem to be ones that create a network of cross-disciplinary researchers in the public and private sectors.

Reed Science Group Academic Sourcebook, June 2006
GRANT RESOURCES
If your grant requires information dissemination through a conference, institute, symposium, workshop, etc., contact the UMSL Division of Continuing Education & Outreach. The Division offers complete planning, marketing and support services for programs, on and off campus. Call Dr. Gina Ganahl, Associate Dean, at (314) 516-5925, or e-mail ganahlg@umsl.edu.
UMSL GRANT SUBMISSION POLICY

Chairs, Deans of each person, dept, and/or school who has time/resources committed through direct costs or cost sharing/match).
Budgets

INTERNAL FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES
UM-St. Louis Small Grants Fund
The Small Grants Fund is designed to strengthen faculty research and creative activities. Through a competitive process, awards are given to help faculty in all disciplines maintain an active research program. Funding may be requested for only one of the following categories: Conference Expenses, Equipment and Research Supplies, Professional Development.
Proposals Due: Monday, Oct. 9, 2006 (also, March 5, 2007) by 5 p.m.
341 Woods Hall
More information: http://www.umsl.edu/services/ora/docs/2007_Smal_Grants.doc, or contact Shannon Muehlberger Nichols (muehlbergers@umsl.edu, 516-5899)
UM-St. Louis Research Awards
These awards strengthen faculty research and creative activities. Support is provided for research assistants, equipment, supplies, travel to research locations, and salary support for course reductions, research leaves, and summer research. Funds will not be awarded for domestic travel to conferences, but will be awarded for travel to international conferences in conjunction with research-related travel. A significant portion of the funds available for faculty research support is based on facilities and administration cost recovery from externally funded grants and contracts. In order to perpetuate the fund, one purpose of the Research Awards is to support faculty whose competitive position for external funding will be improved by such assistance. Awards also are given to help faculty in all disciplines maintain an active research program, even if external funding is difficult to obtain. Special consideration, particularly for summer research support, will be given to junior faculty to assist them in establishing a strong research record. Generally, tenured faculty will not be awarded summer salary support.
Proposals Due: Monday, Oct. 16, 2006 (also, Feb. 5, 2007) by 5 p.m.
