Other federal agency funding

OCRD Other Federal Agency Toolkits

The Office of Campus Research Development (OCRD) has some toolkits on myRESEARCHpath for other federal agencies. These toolkits are updated annually or as needed to conform to both agency and program-specific requirements. Contact OCRD if you are not seeing a funding opportunity of interest and for which you would like a toolkit.

For the Department of Energy (DOE) specifically, most applications require the document, Promoting Inclusive and Equitable Research (PIER) Plan, which needs to describe the activities and strategies applicants will incorporate to promote diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility in their research projects. PIER Plans will be evaluated as part of the merit review process and will be used to inform funding decisions. The link to access this guidance is here (under DOE): Promoting Inclusive and Equitable Research (PIER) Plans guidance and templates. The PIER plan template is included in OCRD’s DOE toolkits.

DOE Early Career Research Toolkit

DOE Early Career Research toolkit (DE-FOA-0003176): The Early Career Research Program supports the development of individual research programs of outstanding scientists early in their careers and to stimulate research careers in the areas supported by DOE Office of Science. The PIER plan template described above is included in this toolkit.

Upcoming deadlines (anticipated): Pre-application (required): January 2025; full application: April 2025

National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH)

The list below of NEH funding opportunities was identified in collaboration with the Franklin Humanities Institute (FHI). Not all of these opportunities have toolkits created at this time. For the ones for which we have developed toolkits, you will see a link to the respective funding opportunity’s toolkit. The exception is the NEH Summer Stipends toolkit, which is only provided to the selected nominees annually. Over time, we anticipate developing toolkits for the rest of the NEH funding opportunities listed.

NEH Collaborative Research toolkit (program page): Collaborative Research supports a team of scholars (i.e., 2 or more scholars) working on a project that incorporates multiple points of view, pursues new avenues of inquiry in the humanities, and leads to manuscripts for print publication or scholarly digital projects.

Upcoming deadline (anticipated): November 2025

NEH Fellowships Toolkit

NEH Fellowships toolkit (program page): Fellowships provide individual scholars time to conduct research or to produce books, monographs, peer-reviewed articles, e-books, digital materials, translations with annotations or a critical apparatus, or critical editions resulting from previous research.
