Finding appropriate funding sources is a critical step in the grant writing process. Researchers can explore various options, including:
- Government Agencies: Organizations like the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) offer numerous grants for public health research. - Private Foundations: Entities such as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation provide funding for innovative health research projects. - Academic Institutions: Universities often have internal funding opportunities and can assist in identifying external grants. - Professional Organizations: Groups like the American Public Health Association (APHA) may offer grants and fellowships.
