It’s All Linked to Education

Finding Non-federal Funding Opportunities that Align with Your Research Agenda explores strategies for identifying and securing non-federal funding opportunities that align with your research agenda in an increasingly complex and rapidly changing federal funding landscape. The presentation will highlight alternative pathways such as philanthropic foundations, state-level agencies, nonprofits, and mission-driven organizations. Participants will learn practical approaches for matching their research interests with funder priorities while maintaining the integrity and impact of their work. The session will also include tips for building sustainable funding pipelines and positioning research for broader community and institutional support. This webinar is part of the series: Capacity Building for Applied STEM Education and Behavioral Sciences Research. Presenter(s): Toni Dancstep, Toya Frank, Naomi Hall-Byers, and Tori Smith. Register

Data are transforming nearly every aspect of higher education, scientific discovery, healthcare, and workforce development. Yet many educators, researchers, and institutional leaders have had little formal preparation in applying data science to their teaching, scholarship, program evaluation, or strategic decision-making. Data to Impact is a four-part professional development series designed to build practical data science capacity among faculty, researchers, administrators, and education leaders. Rather than focusing solely on programming or advanced analytics, the series demonstrates how data science can become a powerful tool for solving real-world problems, strengthening research, improving student outcomes, informing institutional decisions, and increasing competitiveness for grants and partnerships. Through interactive webinars, participants will progress from foundational concepts to real-world applications in STEM, education, research administration and institutional leadership. By the end of the series, participants will leave with practical tools, new perspectives and an action plan for applying data science within their own disciplines and organizations.
