The enthusiasm and the level of response to the second DARE seed funding competition was impressive. We received 23 DARE proposal submissions from teams composed of 209 members. These participants represent our most research active, collaborative, and accomplished principal investigators. With only a limited number of awards, selecting awardees from this strong set of proposals was very challenging. Please join us for the DARE Kickoff Event, where awardee teams will provide an overview of their vision, goals, and deliverables as well as collectively celebrate the University's research mission.

Elsevier's Funding Institutional (FI) is a searchable database containing data on funding opportunities, funders, and awarded grants, drawn from a wide range of governmental and private sources. Investigators utilizing FI may increase grant rate success, uncover new sources of funding, and maximize time and productivity.

Drexel Social Science Research Committee is pleased to announce that we will organize a bus trip to Washington, DC for Drexel social scientists to meet program officers from various federal grant agencies. Grant officers will have a panel discussion on topics like “How to write a proposal that fits a call?” They will also join Drexel social scientists in a roundtable discussion on how to be awarded federal grants with a social science focus. 

SPARK is a 24 hour (Nov. 14-15) think-tank style competition giving you the chance to solve real-world problems alongside professional engineers, scientists and industry representatives.
