When your research proposal to a federal agency or foundation requires dissemination, a customized and professional plan will enhance the likelihood of funding.
Experienced KU Continuing Education staff works with faculty researchers to design innovative educational programs that broaden participation in KU research.
Whether you plan to submit a proposal to a funding agency or need to guarantee that your research activities and results reach a specific audience, consider having KU Continuing Education help design and implement your dissemination program. Planning well ahead of the proposal submission or event date assures you will meet deadlines and deliver an excellent plan.
Funding agencies often look for innovative proposals that integrate research, education, and dissemination. They place values on diverse and maximized audiences, sophisticated communication capabilities and unique and innovative approaches to educational activities. An example is the National Science Foundation’s competitive merit review process. Most NSF awards must satisfy merit criteria that ask how the proposed activity advances discovery and understanding while promoting teaching, training, and learning; broadens participation of underrepresented groups; disseminates broadly to enhance scientific and technological understanding; and benefits society.
Continuing Education managers, technicians, graphic artists, and Web masters want to help you develop your dissemination plan while you focus on other demands. We can:
Continuing Education supports KU’s four key research directions. The Scholarship and Research Subcommittee of KUCR’s Research Futures Committee developed the directions for the full committee. The recommendations are integral to the committee’s comprehensive plan for research, which was introduced at the Research Convocation in November 2005.
The unique nature of most proposals requires a customized approach.
A strong and creative collaboration between you and Continuing Education staff can help insure an outstanding proposal. We partner with you early in the process and make it easy to add a custom educational program, a dissemination plan, and the budget to support programming activities.
KU Continuing Education can help make your dissemination component a success.
