Scanty grant resources I might be able to apply

Sharon, the instructor of my Grant Writing course, required us to keep a diary on our working process. I could not think of a better carrier than my blog to record it, and which in reverse, will makes my blog (for a Ph.D student) look a little more meaningful.

The earliest attempt on searching grant for communication research is quite frustrating, since all philanthropic money seems pouring to special education and community service. Than I realized that is why this course is available on school of Education--It will be really a loss if you don't take the money at your foot. I confine my search on research funding, then I found some sporadic money for academic research on social science, buried under tons of money going to medical, chemistry and engineering research. The worse part is most of funding for academic research can only applied by institutions instead of by individuals, that means that I really need to relate my interest to that of the department or the school.

OK, here are two I find I might try to apply:

Future of Humanity Research Programs

William T. Grant (if I use only college students as my respondents)
