Hanover Research supports colleges and universities with research development, grant writing, and strategic advising. George Mason University faculty, staff, students and administrators have access to Hanover’s Grants Learning Center. The Grants Learning Center (GLC) is an on-demand grantsmanship training LMS designed for faculty, providing grant seeking and professional development.
Hanover Research will be hosting two webinars this Spring:
Re-Imagining Broader Impacts in Grant Writing
Mar. 26, 2026, 12:00 PM EST
The articulation of broader impacts remains a critical component of federal grant proposals, but recent policy changes have significantly reshaped how applicants should approach this aspect of their proposals. This session will present strategies for designing and communicating broader impacts that align with current federal priorities, including practical ways to demonstrate project relevance and impact for a wide audience.
Pathways for Effective Research Translation
Apr. 30, 2026 12:00 PM EST
In this webinar, Hanover Research explores pathways for grant seekers aiming to extend their research discoveries from academic settings into real-world applications. Attendees will learn strategies for translating complex findings into accessible formats for practitioners, policymakers, and industry, increasing the impact and grant-readiness of their work. The session will highlight ways to bridge the gap between research and application and discuss how feedback from users can inform future projects and proposals.
Additionally, Hanover produces Grants Calendars centered on certain funding interests and has recently produced a calendar of upcoming grant opportunities focused on Early Career Research, covering a range of disciplines and focus areas.
