Funding Opportunities - Communication Studies

NOTE: Because the topic of communication is so broad and pervasive in everyday life, faculty in this field have an incredibly broad range of grant and other funding opportunities available; however, few are specifically geared toward the topic of “communication.” Most of the grants listed here are a sampling of some of the topics Communication Studies faculty have expressed interest in pursuing. We recommend searching for grants by topic keywords, such as the population you are researching. Contact a C3 Research Coordinator for an individual funding search consultation.

These mHealth tools, therefore, may facilitate more timely and effective patient-provider communication through education communication around goal setting, treatment reminders, feedback on patient progress and may improve health outcomes. This announcement encourages the development, testing and comparative effective analysis of interventions utilizing mHealth technologies. There is also an interest in studying mHealth technologies in underserved populations.

Funding Amount	Varies
Important Dates	December 16 (Anticipated)
Brief Description	The Public Scholar Program supports well-researched books in the humanities intended to reach a broad readership. Although humanities scholarship can be specialized, the humanities also strive to engage broad audiences in exploring subjects of general interest. They seek to deepen our understanding of the human condition as well as current conditions and contemporary problems. The Public Scholar Program aims to encourage scholarship that will be of broad interest and have lasting impact. Such scholarship might present a narrative history, tell the stories of important individuals, analyze significant texts, provide a synthesis of ideas, revive interest in a neglected subject, or examine the latest thinking on a topic. Books supported by this program must be grounded in humanities research and scholarship. They must address significant humanities themes likely to be of broad interest and must be written in a readily accessible style. Making use of primary and/or secondary sources, they should open up important and appealing subjects for a wide audience. The challenge is to make sense of a significant topic in a way that will appeal to general readers. Applications to write books directed primarily to scholars are not appropriate for this program.
