[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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] It means you have an existing grant or award that you bring with you to your university. [/quote] Where do you get one of those? I do t get it[/quote] You come up with an interesting piece of research, peddle it to a funder, then get funded via a grant or contract or cooperative agreement. When you move from your current organization, you are eligible to take said grant or contract with you to your new job. Sometimes you can't depending on the nature of the funding or other specific requirements of the grant or agreement. [/quote]
