Elaine, good luck with your faculty survey on barriers to research. As a
faculty member at Towson University, my biggest barrier is lack of time.
Juggling research, service, teaching, etc. is a challenge.

Therefore, I am making a career change from college teaching to grant
writing.  Can you offer any suggestions on strategies to make the change?  I
have written 3 successful grants and am a new member of NCURA.  Do you know
of good courses on grantsmanship in the Maryland, Washington, D.C. area?

Also, how do I find out about job openings in grants?  Do you think it is a
good idea to send a message to members of the research administration
discussion list and see if I can identify openings in this manner?

Please share your thoughts.
