Division of Sponsored Programs Information, Advice, Support, Opportunities The Division of Sponsored Programs offers practical help and information to graduate and professional students who are seeking external funding for research, scholarships, fellowships, travel, and more. You can find us at http://research.uiowa.edu/dsp/. Our website provides access to databases for funding opportunities from government agencies and private sources, tips on grant writing, and many other helpful links. For an individual session and hands-on training, you can make an appointment with Diane Crosby, 335-3597, dsp-grant1@uiowa. She will interview you about your work and funding goals, help you develop key search terms, teach you how to use the databases to best advantage, and give you practical advice on how to manage your time and incorporate searches into your professional development. After the appointment, you will receive an email follow-up with a record of your session, the search tools used, your key words, and advice to get your grant searches underway. The DSP office is located at 100 Gilmore Hall. We also provide continued support as you work through the grant writing process. We can offer guidance in developing and critiquing applications and preparing budgets. You can use our photocopying, fax, and phone free to process your application. We will ship your funding request packets for free as well. And we can help you set up the required UIRIS routing system for funding requests. We encourage you to check early and check often for funding opportunities that can advance your scholarship, create opportunities, and enrich your academic experiences. We are here to help you do great things!
