Make Sure You Apply For The Correct Technology Grants

By Patty Goff


Once your invention begins coming to life, you will find that life is more expensive than you may be ready for. When applying for technology grants there are a few goals and needs that need to be defined first. Explain in as much detail as possible what the project is trying to accomplish and what will be needed to complete it. One will need to be able to explain how this is going to make a difference to the world.

It all began with the change of many natural resources into simple tools. The invention of controlling fire helped to change the accessibility of food and in the same way the creation of the wheel helped with travelling. The more modern developments are the invention of the internet, telephone and printing press. These forms of communication help humans to interact with others all over the world.

It will not be very easy to find the right funders but keep looking, the more one looks the more likely one will find the right one. All of the funders have their own goals and one will need to find out what these are and if they are compatible. Each funder is different, with different needs as well as criteria.

Neo-Luddism is very much against modern technology. Their common practice is to destroy or discard the use of equipment and to live an easy life. The modern movement is associated with the radical environmentalism, deep ecology as well as the anti globalizations movement and anarcho primitivism. Some of them will even turn to aggression and destruction so that social change will be achieved. The Second Luddie Congress is very much against any action that has a tendency to become violent. During the years 1978 and 1995 Theodore Kaczynski engaged in a nationwide campaign against modern technology by planting and mailing homemade bombs. He killed three people and injured 23 others in the process.

The budget must be described and then justified and this can be done on a spreadsheet detailing cost breakdowns and assumptions. It must include all traveling and meetings as well as equipment and supplies or anything else that will be required to make the project successful. If this is just for partial funding a list of all the other sources must be included as well as if they are already committed or not.

Try to be as specific as possible about all the goals and the outcomes that the project needs to achieve. Try and give some sort of evidence that can support this plan. Offer to discuss all the ideas in person or over the telephone.

When a funder has been found one will need to read the guidelines that they have about phone contact just to ensure that one follows any regulations and rules that have been set out. One must remember that they have many different grants that they have given and they need to follow up on them all. A certain time may need to be set aside so that they can have all their attention on ones specific needs.

To obtain grants, one will need to adhere to the guidelines. Those that can offer the grants will have their own application forms and be sure that the approach is right. Depending on the agency some will only need a phone call to complete the first step while others will require a full proposal.
