Universities are placing greater emphasis on extramural research funding at the same time that securing funding is becoming increasingly competitive. Funding agencies are traditionally often more focused on basic (T0), pre-clinical (T1), or translational (T2-T4) research as opposed to management research. These challenges require health care management researchers to develop rigorous research proposals that are targeted to specific funding agencies and funding calls. The goal of this Professional Development Workshop (PDW) will be to provide information about how to develop and write a grant to a federal (i.e., National Institutes of Health [NIH], Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality [AHRQ]) or foundation (i.e., Robert Wood Johnson Foundation [RWJF]) funding agency. Using successful grant writers as well as insiders from funding agencies as facilitators, we will first provide an overview of strategies for success in obtaining external funding for organizational research. Among the topics to be discussed are writing research proposals that get funded, uncovering the mystique of the grant funding process, and finding the appropriate funding venue for your research. Next, we will breakout in a ‘hot topics’ style session with discussion of different aspects of securing funding covered at different tables within the session. Scholars of all career stages are welcome to attend this interactive PDW, which is designed as an in-person session.
