NSF awards grants to doctoral students to improve the quality of dissertation research.  These grants provide funds for items not normally available through the student’s university.  In addition, these grants allow doctoral students to undertake significant data-gathering projects and to conduct field research in settings away from their campus that would not otherwise be possible.  Proposals are submitted by the student through the student’s university with assistance from the student’s faculty advisor and the university sponsored programs office.  Many of NSF’s directorates offer similar programs.  Check guidelines carefully.  Proposals are submitted electronically through NSF’s Fastlane system. 

Although virtually every discipline/subdiscipline in physical, natural, and social sciences is covered by similar NSF programs (see NSF website), the Directorate for Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) calls for proposals are featured here below:

The e-scholar website offers students age 16 through postdoctoral a wealth of information about federal funding opportunities to support education, training and job opportunities – although dominated by science and technology and public service opportunities, there are some opportunities for those in the arts and humanities, especially if their career or research interests have international aspects.

www.lib.msu.edu

This library does an excellent job in researching grant opportunities for individuals, particularly in all the arts and humanities.  Check the links carefully for current information and beware of geographic limitations, for instance.  All in all, though, this is a good site to add to our others to unearth more obscure opportunities for faculty and students.
