Newsletter and Grants Calendar
Welcome, grantseekers!
The latest Newsletter is up! Scroll down below to read the latest edition and, while you're at it, catch up on some vintage issues.
This page is a repository of newsletters (listed below) that announce upcoming external grant opportunities for faculty and staff. If you are interested in receiving our newsletter, please email grantopportunities@barnard.edu.
Our external grants calendar is a great way to see the entire year's worth of grant opportunities and deadlines. It includes descriptions, funding range, links to requests for proposals, and relevant disciplines.
• Grants Calendar
If what you're really looking for is a Fellowship, we've created a selected calendar of nearly 200 fellowship opportunities open to scholars.
• Fellowships Calendar
Both documents can be downloaded and exported into excel, where you can sort, filter, and search without changing the online version. We update these periodically, so please be sure to check back later in the year.
