Research at AU's School of Education

Introduction
Welcome to Research at the School of Education at Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½. At SOE, we value excellence, equity, antiracism and social justice, diversity and inclusion, collaboration, and innovation. These values are integrated into the types of research our faculty members do and the sponsors with whom we choose to collaborate. The research that SOE faculty develop leads to skillful teachers, stronger schools, and a better education system to support students.Ìý
The research team at SOE will collaborate with faculty in finding opportunities, applying for awards, and managing the grant once funding is secured.

Alternatives to Federal FundersÌý
Wednesday, March 26 | 1:30 pm | Zoom
This webinar will explore the ways in which private grant makers differ from federal funders; and discuss how faculty can successfully pursue funding from these sectors. How can faculty identify private funding for their research or program needs? What does the application process look like for foundations and corporate funders, and how is it different from public grant makers? How do you engage private funder staff, particularly with funders that don’t accept uninvited proposals, and how can your institution’s foundation support you in that process? What is stewardship, and why is it particularly important with foundations and corporate funders? Register Here.
