Research Development & Grant Writing News Archives

Research Development & Grant Writing News historically provided federal agency and foundation developments, news on funding opportunities and tips to improve grantsmanship and increase proposal competitiveness.

The monthly newsletter, published by Academic Research Funding Strategies, typically addressed the following topics:

  • Information on new and continuing solicitations (most commonly federal)
  • Articles and links to topics of interest to grant writers
  • Analysis of sponsor policies, financials and activities
  • Suggestions for successful team and consortium building efforts

The newsletter team published its final issue in June 2025. The Office of Research provides an archive of the final 1.5 years of publications for reference only. Many grant writing strategy tips remain relevant; more timely information about specific funding opportunities and agencies likely will be out of date.

The archive is stored on a KU SharePoint site behind single sign-on; our institutional subscription permitted distribution of this newsletter only to KU students, staff and faculty.
