Here are some grants that I found for travel funding that we can all think about applying for.  Here is the general link several of these came from: https://gradsch.osu.edu/funding/grants

0) Division of Astrophysics Travel grant to APS April Meeting. $600 (very easy to get on your first try, Brian won in Spring 2017)

https://www.aps.org/units/dap/awards/student-travel.cfm

1) $500 grant you could apply for from the APS Forum on Graduate Student Affairs. You'd probably have to get an APS membership, but that's not such a big deal.

2) Ohio State Ray Travel Award. What's cool about this one is that they really emphasize service record, which we can knock out of the park (because of ASPIRE). They'll allow you to apply for up to $1000.

3) Ohio State Critical Difference for Women Professional Development Grant,  Women of Color Advancement Grant, and Technology Grant.

5/9/17:  Spoke to Leslie at Women in Philanthropy:

Looks like they will be soliciting applications in the January 2018, they will select 3 in late spring who are invited to make presentations.  Then a selection is made in Jan. 2019 (the members vote on how much money to give to each, with knowledge of the budget that was submitted) and the money would come in the summer 2019.

She said there are no restrictions on what they fund (salary, travel, equipment are all ok for example).  They like to fund one science proposal per year, and have been low on science proposals lately.  She said like to support excellence at Ohio State and didn't think that degree of risk was a major factor, more that it is exciting.

Amy submitted a one-pager (with Stephanie Wissel and Kai Staats) to compete for the OSU slot for the Nov. 1, 2017 Keck proposal.  See attached one page writeup, one for OSU answering specific questions and another for Keck (OSU gets Keck input at this "phase 0" stage).  I found the OSU instructions (also attached) to be incomplete and hard to follow so see my docs for examples.  The PI's CV (of any length) is also attached with these two docs.  You need to put them all into one pdf and submit one file to the OSU webpage (and it is unforgiving about submitting a file and wanting to delete it an submit a different one).  

I am also attaching a budget spreadsheet that Keck will ask for at the next stage.  This is helpful to see as a rough budget is drafted at Phase 0.  Keck will not pay F&A (keeping the lights on) but will pay fringe benefits (like health insurance).  It is expected that the host institution would pay the F&A if awarded due to the prestige.

W.M. Keck Foundation (PM: Dinessa Solomon, Limited Submission Sponsor)

·         §  The foundation follows a Two-Phase Application Process.

·         §  Initial contact must be coordinated through OSU in keeping with the limited submission

process. A single page concept paper is required and is used to help schedule/initiate a conversation with a Keck program officer during their pre-application counseling period (1/1 – 2/15 for May submittal; 7/1 -8/15 for November submittal). 

·         §  Grants are awarded twice annually (June & December). Sponsor submission deadlines are May 1 and November 1

CCAPP projects would fall within the Keck Foundation’s Research Program priority, which seeks to benefit humanity by supporting projects in medical research and science and engineering. Currently capping awards at $1 million (prefers to award these larger grants). Competitive projects: 

·         §  Focus on important and emerging areas of research

·         §  Have the potential to develop breakthrough technologies, instrumentation or methodologies

·         §  Are innovative, distinctive and interdisciplinary

·         §  Demonstrate a high level of risk due to unconventional approaches, or by challenging the

prevailing paradigm

·         §  Have the potential for transformative impact, such as the founding of a new field of research, the

enabling of observations not previously possible, or the altered perception of a previously

intractable problem

·         §  Does not focus on clinical or translational research, treatment trials or research for the sole

purpose of drug development

·         §  Fall outside the mission of public funding agencies

·         §  Demonstrate that private philanthropy generally, and the W. M. Keck Foundation in particular, is

essential to the project’s success

Simons Foundation (PM: Leanda Rix, Limited Submission Sponsor)

1.     The foundation issues requests for applications (RFA) for each of their funding opportunities. They have both limited submission opportunities and open calls. CCAPP projects may fall within the following funding priority areas: 

·         §  Targeted Grants in Mathematics and Physical Sciences (Rolling Deadline) – supports high risk projects of exceptional promise and scientific importance on a case-by-case basis. An LOI must be submitted through the online application system. Grants are awarded for up to five years; there is no recommended funding limit.
