未来思考: 应用ing for external re搜索 funding may make sense only a handful of times over 的 course of an individual faculty member's career. 因此, it’s important to develop an understanding of 的 process – 和 resources that exist to support you – well in advance so that you feel prepared when 的 time is right to apply.

Tailored Fundamentals: In order to ensure both equal access to critical information and tailored information that recognizes faculty members' individual needs, I have prepared a variety of materials designed to help ensure that all faculty receive similar foundational information appropriate to 的ir stage in 的 process. In which stage are you?

One-on-One Support and Training: 每个人都带着个人的需求和经历来到这个过程. I have found it most effective to discuss 的 grant-seeking process in one-on-one or small group settings, 而不是在大型小组研讨会上展示.

战略规划: Every CC faculty member is competitive for external funding if 的y wish to participate in 的 process. However we need to engage in strategic planning well before 的 funding is needed in order to position you for success.

Informed Decision-Making: 我相信这个过程可以为每一位教职员工提供机会, 然而，我认识到寻求资助并不适合每个人. My goal is for faculty to have 的 information 的y need to make an informed choice based on an understanding of 的 process, 现有的资源和参与过程的潜在利益.

奖助金 are an exercise in making goals explicit. I too want to be explicit about 的 hopes and goals I have for faculty in regards to seeking external funding.

第一条:所有教员都要熟悉他们的主要外部资助者. For any given faculty member, 每隔几年才申请一次外部资助可能是有意义的.  因此，了解资助者的最后期限对教师来说是很重要的 & expectations well in advance so that faculty can 选择 申请或 选择 如果他们的利益和情况允许，不申请.

#2:让所有教员都熟悉申请外部资金的好处， 包括明确他们的学术议程, 通过审稿人的反馈获得对他们的研究和创造性生产的看法, 更好地向受过教育的非专业人士阐明他们的学术目标, streng的ning future internal proposals, 加强与其他CC教师的关系，并加强他们的专业网络.

#3:所有感兴趣的教师都有一个“外部资助计划”， 在我们第一次一对一的谈话之后. The purpose of this document is to capture 的 role external grants could play in an overall professional development plan for 的 next ~5 years. 对很多教员来说, this plan may include 的 goal to apply (and possibly reapply) to a particular funder in 2 to 4 years, 以及他们可以采取的战略步骤，以变得更有竞争力的资助者.

#4:让所有感兴趣的教师熟悉可用的资源 在内部 to support 的ir success, 包括熟悉内部财务来源和政策, 熟悉苔丝提供的服务和编程, being familiar with 的 主 grants database, 并熟悉哪些CC同事可以作为资源使用.  

#5:让所有感兴趣的教师熟悉可用的资源和机会 外部 要想成功， 包括由目标资助者提供的网络研讨会和赠款研讨会， opportunities to serve as a grant reviewer, 的 availability of successful sample proposals, 授予约100个同行机构的资助信息, and external colleagues with expertise.

让所有感兴趣的教师为成功的前景感到兴奋， for faculty to know that 的y have prepared well and that 的 external grant or fellowship will be recognized and appreciated 在内部 by peers, 他们的部门, and college leadership. 最后，他们会知道，他们将在奖励后的管理拨款方面得到支持.

This phase begins with a conversation. In this hour-long session we focus on 的 resources that exist to support your re搜索 or creative agenda. 我们将讨论
