Funding Your Research in the Humanities and Social Sciences

Grants and fellowships are increasingly essential to an academic career, and competition over federal and foundation funding is fiercer than ever. Yet there has hitherto been little training available for this genre of writing.

Funding Your Research in the Humanities and Social Sciences demystifies the process of writing winning grant proposals in the humanities and social sciences. Offering practical guidance, step-by-step instructions, and examples of successful proposals, Walker and Unruh outline the best practices to crack the proposal writing code. They reveal the most common peeves of proposal reviewers and offer advice on how to avoid frequent problem areas in conceptualizing and crafting a research proposal in the humanities and social sciences. Contributions from agency and foundation program officers offer the perspective from the other side of the proposal submission portal, and new research funding trends, including crowdfunding and public scholarship, are also covered.

This book is essential reading for all those involved in preparing funding applications. Graduate students, research administrators, early career faculty members, and tenured professors alike will gain new and effective strategies to write successful applications.

Barbara L. E. Walker is the Director of Research Development for the Social Sciences at the University of California Santa Barbara, USA, where she is also Special Assistant to the Executive Vice Chancellor for Diversity Initiatives.

Our insights into successful proposal writing have been honed by decades of learning from many amazing colleagues and friends. This bookand indeed our careers would not have been possible without guidance from, and collaboration with, a series of people and organizations that we would like to gratefully acknowledge.

Two colleagues, in particular, have been instrumental in shaping our approach to proposal writing for the humanities and social sciences: Barbara Herr Harthorn and Karen Lunsford shared their ideas, experiences, and slide decks as we built both our research programs and research development careers at UC Santa Barbara. Their techniques for conceptualizing research ideas and writing introductions were especially crucial in forming our approaches to proposal development. We cant thank them enough for their generosity, collaboration, and friendship.
