Sage Journals: Discover world-class research

Abstract

This article introduces the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) as a potential funding source for social work doctoral students. HUD's two doctoral research grant programs (i.e., the Early Doctoral Students Research Grant and the Doctoral Dissertation Research Grant) are nontraditional, largely untapped funding sources for social work doctoral students. The author provides an overview of both programs, describes the application requirements, the selection criteria, and the review process. Based on her experience as a social work student awarded both an Early Doctoral Students Research Grant and a Doctoral Dissertation Research Grant, the author provides tips, advice, and examples for preparing a strong application.
