Small Grant Application Guide & Checklist Our small grants program has four selection criteria: Will this project foster science communication research excellence at the University of Oregon? For example, is the research project creating innovative and useful models and/or techniques for science communication? Does this research project grow interdisciplinary collaboration among researchers at the University of Oregon?
How competitive will this research project be for external funding? External funding may include federal research grants (such as NSF , NIH , and NEH ), corporate philanthropy (such as the Ford Foundation ), private foundations (such as the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation , Rita Allen Foundation , and Kavli Foundation ), and University of Oregon donors.
4. Does the project have the capacity to improve diversity, equity, and inclusion in the field of science communication at the University of Oregon (in accordance with UO’s IDEAL Framework )? All expenses must be consistent with UO business expense guidelines .
Examples of allowable research-related expenses include, but are not limited to: Monetary or other incentives in surveys/experiments/focus groups, research materials or equipment, software, data sets, presentation expenses, conference registration, travel, and undergraduate wages Software subscription costs or one-time costs related to software Travel costs related to research Compensation of experimental or survey participants Summer support for faculty scholarly work, faculty release time, and up to one month of summer support for graduate students.
This funding is currently less likely, given limited resources. (Support for graduate students and stipends for faculty members during fall, winter, and spring terms are not eligible expenses.)

Improving Undergraduate STEM Education: Education & Human Resources (IUSE: EHR) Program is sponsored by National Science Foundation (NSF). This program promotes novel, creative, and transformative approaches to generating and using new knowledge about STEM teaching and learning to improve STEM education for undergraduate students. It supports projects that bring recent advances in STEM knowledge into undergraduate education, adapt, improve, and incorporate evidence-based practices, and lay the groundwork for institutional improvement in STEM education. Professional development for instructors to ensure adoption of new and effective pedagogical techniques is a potential topic of interest.
The National Leadership Grants for Libraries Program (NLG-L) supports projects that address critical needs of the library and archives fields and have the potential to advance practice and strengthen library and archival services for the American public. Successful proposals will generate results such as new models, tools, research findings, services, practices, and/or alliances that can be widely used, adapted, scaled, or replicated to extend and leverage the benefits of federal investment. Applications to IMLS should both advance knowledge and understanding and ensure that the federal investment made generates benefits to society. Specifically, the goals for this program are to generate projects of far-reaching impact that: • Build the workforce and institutional capacity for managing the national information infrastructure and serving the information and education needs of the public. • Build the capacity of libraries and archives to lead and contribute to efforts that improve community well-being and strengthen civic engagement. • Improve the ability of libraries and archives to provide broad access to and use of information and collections with emphasis on collaboration to avoid duplication and maximize reach. • Strengthen the ability of libraries to provide services to affected communities in the event of an emergency or disaster. • Strengthen the ability of libraries, archives, and museums to work collaboratively for the benefit of the communities they serve. Throughout its work, IMLS places importance on diversity, equity, and inclusion. This may be reflected in an IMLS-funded project in a wide range of ways, including efforts to serve individuals of diverse geographic, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds; individuals with disabilities; individuals with limited functional literacy or information skills; individuals having difficulty using a library or museum; and underserved urban and rural communities, including children from families with incomes below the poverty line. Application Process: The application process for the NLG-L program has two phases; applicants must begin by applying for Phase I. For Phase I, all applicants must submit Preliminary Proposals by the September 20th deadline listed for this Notice of Funding Opportunity. For Phase II, only selected applicants will be invited to submit Full Proposals, and only those Invited Full Proposals will be considered for funding. Invited Full Proposals will be due March 20, 2024. Funding Opportunity Number: NLG-LIBRARIES-FY24. Assistance Listing: 45.312. Funding Instrument: G. Category: AR,HU.
