Grant Writing in Higher Education - The ProQuest Funding Database

Readers,

I am quite excited about the ProQuest Pivot funding database. I plan to use this database VERY frequently! It seems like a great resource. Does your institute have a subscription?

Enjoy!

Grant Writing in Higher Education - Yay! We Met Another Deadline

Readers,

And...we're back! Spring break was great! Our family had a group weekend at Lake Tyler in Tyler, TX and now I am refreshed and ready for the rest of the week!

Today, a colleague and I had a grant deadline. We were super excited to submit the application and to sign the paperwork in the internal transmittal process. Thank goodness!

The grant is actually focused on the social media processes of a state agency in Texas. We would be VERY excited to receive the grant and we should hear about our status in a few months. :) Wish us luck!


This week, I will focused on a few grant resources that I frequently use to seek grants. :)

Sincerely,

J. Edwards

Opportunity - (Reminder) TSMRI seeks fellows for its 2012-2013 fellowship program

TSMRI seeks fellows for its 2012-2013 fellowship program

The Texas Social Media Research Institute (TSMRI) announces its 2012-2013 fellowship program. An online application to become a TSMRI Fellow is available at http://www.tinyurl.com/TSMRIfellowapp. The deadline to apply is Friday, March 23 and fellows will be announced May 1.

TSMRI is a multidisciplinary collaboration based at Tarleton State University in Stephenville, Texas. The institute provides research and training focused on communication technology and social media for K-12 education, higher education, businesses, and non-profit organizations. 

The Texas Social Media Research Institute Fellowship Program aims to foster research on social media and provide researchers and practitioners resources for discovery, both applied and scholarly. Fellows will work with TSMRI to connect social media to their research agendas. Fellows will receive early access to the Journal of Social Media in Society, complimentary registration to the 2012 Social Media Conference and TSMRI workshops and a one-year membership to TSMRI. Fellowships are for one year (June 1 to May 31) and applicants may re-apply for one additional year.

We are excited about offering opportunities to scholars wishing to study issues in social media. We expect to have between 2 and 5 scholars for the inaugural year of the fellowship program and hope to have applicants from universities across the United States, various disciplines and research paradigms.
