This collection includes a variety of resources compiled as a result of a study (#2324585) funded by the National Science Foundation. The study convened research-oriented and research enterprise professionals from social science fields, in a variety of ways, to discuss barriers, challenges, and solutions to increasing research funding at their institutions and beyond. Please see the "Helpful Online Resources" document for additional free resources.
The organic repository will be reviewed and updated, if needed, annually. To suggest additional resources, please email ImpactAccelerator@uc.edu.
