External
Funding at Miami Hamilton
Every aspect of higher education, from
primary and applied research to curriculum
development, from student and community
services to facility development and maintenance,
is feeling the pinch of tightening state
and federal budgets. But all of these
types of projects can be funded through
external grants.
External funding is truly a win-win-win
situation. Your knowledge and career are
enhanced by completing your project; Miami
students and the University benefit when
you apply these knowledge and career benefits
in the University; and the project funder
benefits by having their mission, vision
and goals achieved through your expertise
and project contributions.
To foster these win-win-win situations,
Miami provides assistance to all faculty
and staff who compete for external funding.
At Miami, the primary office for assistance
is called OARS
(Office for the Advancement of Research
and Scholarship), and it’s located
on the Oxford campus in Roudebush Hall.
On the Hamilton campus, additional assistance
is provided by the Grant Development Coordinator,
Amy Lamborg.
This Hamilton campus assistance can include
(but is not limited to):
• Introducing you to “grantseeking”
• Finding appropriate funding sources
for your project
• Refining your project to closely
match the funder’s goals
• Communicating and relationship
building with funders
• Writing and/or editing your proposal
• Obtaining letters of support for
your project
• Submitting your proposal
The best resource is the OARS
Web site. This Web site provides you with:
• Grants databases, lists, and
links so you can search for funding sources
• Internal (Miami University) funding
opportunities
• Funding alerts and newsletters
• Forms and procedures required
by Miami to submit grants
• Data commonly requested on grant
applications
• Information on research using
human subjects, institutional animal care,
and inventions and patents.
Other resources are available—please
contact Amy Lamborg with any questions.
Her number on the Hamilton campus is 785-3254,
and her email is lambora@muohio.edu.
