The University Development provides:
Access to existing University relationships
with foundation program officers.
The University Development cultivates long-term relationships with program officers and
board members within the private foundation community. A far-reaching network of
foundation contacts, coupled with strategies for appropriately responsive proposals, can be put to use on behalf of University faculty seeking grants.
Access to extensive research into private foundation
funding priorities.
Foundation websites and published funding alerts often speak to what foundations have
done in the past rather than future funding priorities. The University Development has
important background information that USC faculty needs to know when approaching a private
foundation for grant money.
Access to the expertise of successful grant-seekers
and foundation program officers.
The University Development offers tips from the experts about how to make letters of
inquiry, concept papers and proposals more competitive. Copies of successful grant
proposals, insight from colleagues at other universities and the benefit of advice from
foundation program officers can be made available to USC faculty.
Private foundations are critical to the
University's ability to build dynamic research and academic programs.
- Money for graduate fellowships, postdoctoral awards, undergraduate research, new faculty
awards, individual investigator awards, book research, foreign travel.
- Funding for research projects especially in the social sciences, interdisciplinary
projects, domestic policy, foreign policy, higher education reform, the advancement of
science, non-federally funded areas of scientific research.
- Positioning for federal funding, seed grants for RO1 proposals, brokering knowledge to
larger audiences, clarification of academic goals, identification of community and campus
partners, and connection to other USC development efforts.
