2 ways to help faculty secure next-level research funding
Faculty members need support from colleges and universities to grow their funding throughout their careers. And with the budgets of the largest federal funders (HHS, NSF, etc.) remaining stagnant or decreasing, faculty researchers need more guidance than ever on how to develop relationships with new funders, complete unfamiliar proposal processes, and align research with new funder goals.
To support faculty in overcoming funding challenges, colleges and universities should help faculty pursue funding from mission-driven federal agencies and develop faculty-industry partnerships.

Mission-driven agencies may offer new funding opportunities for faculty researchers. The Department of Defense (DoD), the Department of Energy (DOE), and NASA fund more than 20% of all federally sponsored higher ed research. And in 2016, DoD overtook the National Science Foundation (NSF) as the second largest federal funder of higher ed research.
