College of Charleston Grants
Graduate Research and Presentation Grants
The Graduate School of the College of Charleston awards mini-grants to graduate students doing research or creative projects in collaboration with faculty associated with their program (limiting the awards to students will allow faculty from partner institutions to be mentors.)
There are two types of awards:
- Research Grants: Up to $250 per student per semester. May and Summer School sessions will be counted as a single semester.
- Research Presentation Grants: Up to $250 per student per semester.
Criteria
Student applicants must be degree-seeking students in good standing in a College of Charleston graduate program (this includes joint programs, as long as the student is registered through the College).
For research grants, applications must include a project description (maximum length 1,000 words) containing a project abstract, a statement of project objectives and methodology, and a discussion of the project's significance and plans for future dissemination. A separate budget indicating how the money will be used must also be attached. Students should indicate if they have applied for or been awarded support from some other source. Recipients will be encouraged to present their research results at a Graduate Research Seminar or Poster Session.
For research presentation grants, applications must include a presentation description (maximum length 500 words) containing a project abstract, an explanation of the presentation format (e.g., poster session, panel presentation), a description of the presentation venue (e.g., international conference, annual meeting), and a confirmation that the presentation has been accepted (or submitted.) A separate budget, breaking down costs for transportation, food, accommodation, and registration fees should be attached. Students should also indicate if they have applied for or been awarded support from some other source.
Applicants for both awards must submit an Application for Internal Support from Graduate School with their application. Applicants with projects involving animal or human participants must also complete the required protocol applications for the Institutional Review Board (IRB) and the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUCJ). Students who receive grant awards must also complete a Final Report upon completion of the project.

Fulbright Programs - Chile
The Fulbright Commission is interested in supporting study at the Chile’s leading science centers. Up to two grants will be awarded specifically for master’s level or PhD students conducting study/research.
A list of institutions with areas of specialization and contact information will be posted in the country summary for Chile. Applicants should contact the institution directly to determine if the proposed project is feasible and should obtain a letter of affiliation from the contact or other faculty person at the institute stating, at a minimum, that the applicant’s background is sufficient and the proposal feasible.
Some programs may not require a high level of Spanish proficiency since much of the work at the institutes is conducted in English. Applicants should be sure to determine the level of Spanish required for their project.
Both the letter of affiliation and applicant’s Statement of Grant Purpose should address the language issue if proficiency is not required.
It will be expected, however, that applicants have Spanish language skills commensurate with the purposes of the Fulbright Program.

Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Standard of Living and Economic Performance Grants
Alfred P. Sloan Foundation
Deadline: Multiple/Open/Recurring
Support is generally provided to tax-exempt organizations for work in six broad subject matters: Basic Research; Science Education; Public Understanding of Science; Economic Performance and the Quality of Life; Select National Issues; and Civic Initiatives.
Basic Research: The sponsor believes that a carefully reasoned and systematic understanding of the forces of nature and society, when applied inventively and wisely, can lead to a better world for all. With its Basic Research program area, the sponsor expands that understanding by funding original, high-quality research in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Grants in the Basic Research progra m area promise to substantively benefit society or significantly add to the body of scientific knowledge. By funding basic research, the sponsor has created a digital survey of the sky, is advancing species identification and discovery worldwide, and is crafting a better understanding of the built environment in which we live.
Science Education: The sponsor is unique among foundations in its focus on science and technology. They believe that the scholars and practicioners in scientific and technical fields are chief drivers of the nation's prosperity. Grants in the Science Education program area promote access to the scientific enterprise, provide information about scientific and technical careers, and encourage innovation to the structure of scientific training.
Public Understanding of Science: In its Public Understanding of Science program, the sponsor makes grants that foster a better public understanding of the increasingly scientific and technol ogical environment in which we live. The program also aims to convey some of the challenges and rewards of the scientific and technological enterprise and of the lives of the men and women who undertake it. Using books, television, radio, film, theater and other media, grants in this program area promote a deeper, richer contact with all the ways science and technology affect our lives.
Economic Performance and the Quality of Life: The sponsor believes that a theory-based, empirically-tested understanding of the U.S. economy is essential to improving the American quality of life. The sponsor funds grants for high-quality original research that promise to broaden that understanding or use it to improve American institutions. Grants in the Economic Performance and Quality of Life program have expanded our knowlege of how particular industries function, encouraged better communication and cooperation between citizens and their local governments, and focused scho larly and public attention on the issues and challenges faced by contemporary working families.
Select National Issues: The sponsor recognizes that there are select opportunities outside of science, education and economics in which it can create an important benefit to society. Its National Issues program area looks for unique opportunities where the sponsor funds promise to advance a significant national interest. Grants in the Select National Issues program are funding work to increase America's biosecurity and investigate how recent advances in information technology affect the spread of knowledge and the structure of scientific endeavor.
Civic Initiatives: Since its founding in 1934, the sponsor has been proud to call New York City home. With its Civic Initiatives program, the sponsor responds to unique opportunities to benefit the New York City metro area in ways that advance the sponsor's other interests in science, technology and economic p erformance. Grants in the Civic Initiatives program have founded awards to recognize exceptional public service and reward effective teaching of science and mathematics.

Environment Grants Program
Sponsor:
Mott (Charles Stewart) Foundation
Deadline:
Multiple/Open/Recurring
Description:
OBJECTIVES: The program is organized into three grantmaking areas: Conservation
of Freshwater Ecosystems in North America
- This program area seeks to advance the conservation and restoration of
freshwater ecosystems in North America, with emphasis on the Great Lakes and,
to a lesser extent, on portions of the southeastern U.S.
The foundation focuses its grantmaking on these two regions because of the
uniqueness and richness of these freshwater ecosystems. The Great Lakes are the
world's largest freshwater ecosystem, containing 20 percent of the global
supply of fresh water. Freshwater ecosystems within the Southeast have among
the highest levels of species diversity in the world. Because of budget limita
tions, however, the foundation is in the process of reducing its grantmaking in
the Southeast in order to sustain its freshwater grantmaking in its home region
of the Great Lakes. International Finance for Sustainability - Grantmaking
under this objective promotes infrastructure and energy investments that
contribute to sustainable development. The grantmaking aims to strengthen
public and private financial institutions? safeguard policies addressing
large-scale dams, biodiversity, extractive industries, climate and energy,
indigenous peoples, and transparency. Grants support non-governmental
organizations (NGOs) in key European countries, Japan and North America as well
as research institutions and global networks that will monitor and analyze
energy and infrastructure investments. The foundation seeks infrastructure and
energy investments that contribute to environmental sustainability and offer
local economic opportunity.
Grants are made: to regional and global ne tworks and organizations that
monitor and analyze energy and infrastructure investments by public and private
institutions; and to intermediary organizations that can regrant and provide
technical assistance and capacity-building support for local, on-the-ground
monitoring of energy and infrastructure projects. Because of budget
constraints, funding in this area is quite limited and generally by invitation
only. Special Initiatives - This program area allows us to respond to unique
opportunities to advance environmental protection in the U.S. and
internationally. While strategic focus is important, we also need the ability
to respond to unanticipated events and opportunities that lie outside the scope
of our primary program areas.
This program area gives us the flexibility to support non-governmental
organizations? work to respond to changing external circumstances. Due to
budget constraints, funds typically are not allocated to this objective until
specific project s are identified.
ELIGIBILITY Eligible applicants are U.S. organizations and non-U.S.
organizations. Non-U.S. applicants also are urged to submit a letter of inquiry
and not to prepare a full, formal proposal exclusively for the sponsor unless
advised to do so by staff. All letters and proposals must be in English and
must be submitted by a charitable, educational, or governmental organization.
Before a grant can be made to a non-U.S. organization, U.S. government
regulations require the sponsor to collect from each applicant, except
governmental units or organizations, an affidavit and public support schedule
to determine equivalence as a tax-exempt institution under U.S. law. Staff will
provide the forms as well as assistance in completing them. (These forms, and
instructions, also are available in our Grants Resource.)
All submitted materials must be in English.
FUNDING The foundation makes grants in the U.S. and, on a limited geographic
basis, internationally. Grants outside the U.S. are made only in the Civil
Society and Environment programs. Both general-purpose and project-specific
requests are considered. In addition, both single- and multi-year proposals are
acceptable. The median grant size is in the $100,000 range. The majority of the
grants are between $15,000 and $250,000 annually.
