Many foundation opportunities focus on early-career faculty, especially Assistant Professors — in fact, the Boston University Foundation Relations (BU FR) team maintains a growing list that contains more than 350 early career funding programs. Many early career faculty members, across all disciplines, have never engaged with foundation funding and look to their foundation relations colleagues for assistance. BU FR has developed a toolkit for faculty that encourages proposal submission and increases funding success. This session will introduce the tools to engage and support early-career faculty with funding programs targeting their professional level, which include the following: identifying incoming faculty accompanied by introductory meetings, tailoring Early-Career Funding Roadmaps for faculty; maintaining a Successful Proposal Library; arranging “Red Team” Application/Presentation reviews; holding webinars with funders for faculty; and providing data on who has success with particular awards. These tools have helped our BU FR team develop long-standing relationships with faculty members, build faculty confidence in applying for foundation funding, and achieve repeated funding success in prestigious programs.
