[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a professional career in the social sciences and have taught as an adjunct previously. I'd like to transition to academia. I enjoy research and working with students. What I don't understand is how funding works. Departments expect incoming professors to have funding? How do I get funding?[/quote] The best way to start with showing a track record of funding is in grad school to get graduate fellowships from NSF or NIH. After that, you might try to apply for funding from your institution and then smaller grants from outside funding agencies (government but also foundations) which help you get bigger ones later. If you are not currently in the system, I would try to get added to someone else's grant as a consultant or a co-PI. [/quote]
