White House Initiative on HBCUs Presents

Federal Funding Opportunities with the

Social Security Administration

Wednesday, November 2, 2016

12:30PM to 2:30PM (EDT)

The White House Initiative on Historically Black Colleges and Universities (WHIHBCU) is hosting a series of webinars to educate Historically Black Colleges and Universities on the grants and opportunities available to them throughout the federal government.

This webinar will provide participants with information about federal funding opportunities at the Social Security Administration (SSA). SSA offers several funding opportunities to graduate students and junior faculty through its Retirement Research Consortium (RRC) and Disability Research Consortium (DRC). These programs target researchers from a variety of backgrounds and academic disciplines at several stages of their research careers. This webinar will provide an overview of RRC and DRC funding opportunities along with information about submission guidelines and important dates for each of the programs.

Additionally, we plan to provide reference information on internships and opportunities for students and recent graduates.

Attendees will gain an understanding of the programs available and how to apply for these funding opportunities. Faculty, staff, and administrators from the HBCU and all MSI communities are invited to view the webinar live and ask questions.
