Early-Career Faculty Funding: Opportunities, Resources, and Strategies for Success

Seeking both federal and foundation/private funding? Join Research Development, Foundation Relations, Federal Relations and Washington-D.C.-based consulting firm Lewis-Burke Associates for a webinar outlining key resources available to early-career faculty in today’s evolving funding landscape.

This session will provide an overview of funding-related resources at Boston University and feature a panel discussion with BU faculty from different disciplinary backgrounds (STEM and social science/humanities) who have successfully secured external early-career funding. Panelists will share practical insights on identifying appropriate funders, timing applications strategically, and crafting compelling, funder-aligned narratives.
