One Health Study

Tips

Funders want to be confident that you've done your research.  Do a thorough search of research that has already been funded to make sure that you're not replicating a previous study, especially from that funder.  Articles will acknowledge funding sources to give you an idea of foundations and government organizations interested in your topic.  Search the funding databases below to identify funders by topic and/or type of recipient.  Look through the funder's site and reports to increase your awareness of their funding priorities. 

The Social Entrepreneur's Playbook offers tips on structuring proposals.
