External Funding for Dickinson Faculty Research and Curricular Initiatives

The Corporate, Foundation and Government Support Office secures funding from corporate sources, foundations, and government agencies to support institutional priorities. CF&GS also functions as a Sponsored Research Office. We assist faculty in the acquisition of external funding for research, sabbaticals and curriculum development. We serve as liaison between faculty and numerous governmental funding entities such as the National Science Foundation (NSF), the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS), and the U.S. Department of Education's various programs, including the Fund for the Improvement of Post-Secondary Education (FIPSE).
