Funding
Just as maintaining your research program is an ongoing process, so is finding and applying for funding opportunities as they come along. For both of these endeavors, it's important to plan ahead. Here is a sample list of upcoming deadlines to consider.
Just as maintaining your research program is an ongoing process, so is finding and applying for funding opportunities as they come along. For both of these endeavors, it's important to plan ahead. So, if you are looking for financial support for the coming year or next, remember to routinely look at funding postings so you get an idea of what funding trends exist. Below is a sample list of upcoming deadlines to consider. Don't forget to talk to your faculty advisor so they are always current on your ideas and progress - this is very important when asking for letters of recommendation. Equally as important: be sure to check the program websites regularly for the most updated information. Good luck!
