We are pleased to announce that the Emerson College ORCS Funding Opportunity Database is now available to the Emerson community. Anyone with an Emerson ID and password can access and browse more than 400 funding announcements and proposal calls for grant and project funding.

Funding for faculty research and scholarship can come from multiple, diverse sources, including federal agencies, private foundations, academic fellowships, corporate partnerships, and other awards. Over the summer of 2021, the Office of Research and Creative Scholarship has been working diligently to curate a comprehensive, regularly updated listing of funding opportunities that may be of particular interest to faculty and researchers across the College. To better facilitate searches, we are reviewing opportunities, updating deadlines, and categorizing them according to sponsor type, discipline(s), school(s) and department(s), and applicant eligibility. Also included are Emerson’s internal grant programs.

More information on the database, including tips on how to navigate it, will be forthcoming on ORCS’s Finding Funding Opportunities page.

On June 1, 2020, the National Science Foundation (NSF) implemented the Proposal and Award Policies and Procedures Guide (PAPPG) (NSF 20-1) for proposals due on or after that date. The revised PAPPG implements a variety of new requirements and clarifications. The most significant of these are changes to the following proposal sections:

  • Biographical Sketches: For the Biographical Sketch component of an application, NSF will only accept PDFs that are generated through the use of an NSF-approved format (This requirement went into effect on October 5).
    • Other changes include permission for the conditional use of “et al” for publication citations in the “Products” section, when citing multiple authors.
  • Current and Pending Support: The requirement to use an NSF-approved format for preparation of current and pending support went into effect for proposals submitted on or after October 5.
    • Along with the format change, the revised PAPPG expands the definition of current and pending support to include “all resources made available to an individual in support of and/or related to all of his/her research efforts… [including] in-kind contributions (such as office/laboratory space, equipment, supplies, employees [or] students).”

An NSF webinar covering the new format requirements was recorded in April 2020 and can be accessed here. Click here for a summary of all significant changes and clarifications made to the PAPPG.
