Decade of Behavior
(2001 - 2010)
The Decade
of Behavior initiative announces FundSource, the first searchable website devoted
exclusively to funding opportunities across the gamut of behavioral and social
sciences. FundSource offers a variety of search formats; it can deliver either
a description and contact information for funding sources, or it can perform
a direct, full-text search of funding source web pages. Searches can be tailored
by organization name, discipline, or topic and can be done separately for foundations,
federal agencies, and international sources. At present, FundSource concentrates
on sources of funding for research activities. As it expands, it will also include
tips on writing grants as well as links to information on fellowships, sabbatical
support, and conference funding.
In the spirit
of the Decade of Behavior initiative, FundSource is an important element in
fostering increased cooperation among the behavioral and social science disciplines.
The website was made possible thanks to the generous support of the National
Science Foundation and the American Psychological Association. FundSource can
be accessed via the Decade of Behavior homepage at: http://www.decadeofbehavior.org.
