Resources

The following resources may be of value to faculty/PI’s in pursuit of their research and grant-funded work. Please connect directly with the resource providers with questions or to learn more. Did we miss a valuable resource that’s available to the RU-N Community, please tell us so we can add it.

Budget Templates

The Budget Template must be used by faculty and staff in the preparation of their grant budgets. The budget template includes auto-calculating features to calculate the most current approved fringe benefits and facilities and administrative costs (F&A) as established by the current Rutgers rate agreement, as well as imposing the correct calculation rules regarding those purchases or services that do not incur F&A.

Grant Writing Samples & Templates

  • National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH): 155 Freedom of Information Act, Sample Grant Application Narratives (some with sample successful narratives and others with grant applications embedded) from various subdivisions, including Division of Education Programs; Division of Preservation & Access; Division of Public Programs; Division of Research Programs; Office of Challenge Grants; and Office of Digital Humanities
  • Institute of Museum and Library Services’ (IMLS): maintains a sample grants page on their website with approximately 80+ sample grant applications.
  • Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences Program: provides a sample successful proposal template 
  • National Science Foundation (NSF): does not generally post full sample proposals on their Freedom of Information Act website, however their public records include solicitations, program descriptions, information on awarded grants (but not FOIA proposal access), and information on NSF awards. NSF also maintains a website that includes general advice on applying to NSF awards – which goes over the common parts of an NSF proposal and may be useful to your faculty.
  • National Institutes of Health (NIH): has a sample grant applications resource with examples of application pages, sample plans, abstracts, bio-sketches, informed consents, other supports and a host of other sample resources.  I checked with our partners at Lewis and Burke on this search when I was unable to locate the NIH sample funded grants applications, but they were also unable to locate them.

 

Core Facilities (University-wide)

Core facilities play an integral role in our research infrastructure, empowering researchers to break new ground by offering specialized laboratories with state-of-the-art equipment, unique instrumentation and shared services managed by scientists with the technical expertise and experience to help others.

Language Translation

Lives in Translation is a translation and interpreting program in the Spanish and Portuguese Studies Department at Rutgers University-Newark. The program’s initial offerings provided volunteer translation and interpreting services to law clinics, non-profits organizations, and community partners in Newark and the surrounding area. https://sasn.rutgers.edu/lives-translation

 

Research Security

Research Security requirements are imposed by the federal government to protect U.S. science and as a result of several key federal actions (NSMP-33, CHIPs and Science Act). Our mission at Rutgers University is to understand the regulations, develop regulatory infrastructure, and work with researchers to enable them to continue to conduct their work while remaining compliant in an evolving landscape. https://research.rutgers.edu/research-security

 

Computing & Digital Storage

Rutgers students or researcher seeking high-performance computing resources can gain access from the Office of Advance Research Computing (OARC). OARC offers tools for advanced computing and data to revolutionize science and scholarship. Visit: oarc.rutgers.edu. Researchers who require data storage but do not need high-performance computing power should investigate the Research Data Storage platform, OIT’s cost-optimized research data storage solution.
