The Institute for Broadening Participation (supported by NSF and NASA) has just started gearing gearing up for their annual reminder to students and mentors about upcoming post-doctoral openings. Search em’ and see what you find. Check back often because institutions are still in the process of submitting new openings to IBP.
The early bird gets the funding!
IBP is dedicated to helping students successfully pursue careers in the sciences– particularly underrepresented students.

A few good places to start:
1. National Science Foundation. Don’t be fooled, even though this site has many a STEM fellowship, Anthropology and Humanities fellowships are listed on this site as well. If you are doing research, then its SCIENCE!
2. Pivot. This site connects graduate students to moo-lah, big time. You can search thousands of funding opportunities using key words. The best part is that its FREE, (unlike other major funding aggregators).
3. Professional Organizations: Locate orgs in the industry in which you are focusing your research. The National Press Club awards fellowships to journalism majors, the Coordinating Council for Women in History awards fellowships to (female) history majors, and the Mycological Society of America awards fellowships to… mycology majors! (Well, bio majors studying all things fungi.)
Once you find fellowships that fit well with your research, be sure to attend an EDGE Writing Workshop for External Funding. Attend one or all three parts of this series to ensure that your application is complete and competitive. Now that you have this handy-dandy list, in the words of Wordsworth, “To begin, BEGIN!”
Travel grant applications for sustainability research are due Monday Oct. 15th. Travel Support Grants of up to $500 per person will be awarded to students for conferences, seminars, workshops, and/or related student engagement in activities on sustainability and the environment. Already went to an event? If you went between Sept. 1 – Oct. 15, 2012 then you qualify for reimbursement! Apps go to the University Sustainability Committee.
