Dear Faculty and Staff,
As we begin to wind down the academic year and think about the summer season ahead, the grants office invites you to work with us on your proposal ideas for external grant funding. Please note that all grant applications must be approved via the grants office prior to submission. In addition to helping your proposal be more competitive, this requirement ensures that the proposed budget is accurate and that there are no compliance or implementation issues in your application.
Please reach out to us as soon as you start thinking about applying for grant funding. We are eager to hear about your proposal ideas and set up a time to meet.
The earlier you contact us in the process, the better! We can help you identify potential donors, interpret proposal guidelines, develop your proposal narrative, create an accurate budget, identify sources of institutional cost share, advise on grantsmanship, provide supporting documentation, and assist with final submission.
We do request a minimum of 30 days’ notice in advance of the deadline. Please provide even more advance notice if you intend to apply for government funding, since federal proposals can require several months of preparation.
The grants team—Anna Beno, Ariela Rosa, and I—look forward to working with you!
Warm Regards,
Amy Kester, Executive Director of Corporate, Foundation, and Sponsored Research Support—Lawrence University

Lauren Stokes, assistant professor of history at Northwestern University, will discuss migration and race in Germany on Tuesday, March 8 as part of the Povolny Lecture Series in International Studies. The address, “Harlem in Germany: Race, Migration, and the American Analogy in the Federal Republic of Germany,” is open in person to the Lawrence community at 4:30 p.m. in Room 201 of Main Hall.
Named in honor of the late Mojmir Povolny, a long-time Lawrence government professor, the lecture series promotes interest and discussion on issues of moral significance and ethical dimensions.
Stokes is a historian of modern Germany, with a particular focus on migration and race in German history. Their book, Fear of the Family: Guest Workers and Family Migration in the Federal Republic of Germany, was released in February. It provides a history of “family reunification,” the predominant pathway for legal migration to Germany since 1973, and offers interpretations of debates about race and migration in postwar Germany.
The lecture will discuss a deeper history of European migration policy with a focus on how West Germany’s approach to migrants and refugees was shaped by U.S. social science research on race, including policy makers invoking ‘Harlem’ as a racialized space used to formulate urban housing policy for Turkish migrants in Germany during the 1970s, and the impact of U.S. social science on German policies relating to child migration in the 1980s.
One last faculty lunch for the Winter 2022 term! Join colleagues for a BYO lunch in the Viking Room on Friday, March 4 (week 9) from 12:30 to 1:30 pm.

Data Science Applications in the Major Leagues
Data Science lies at the intersection of mathematics, statistics, and computer science. Specifically, it is the practice of using data to try to understand and solve real-world problems. In the last decade, both advances in computing and access to exponentially more data has led this field to boom throughout the private sector. Data science is currently being used to assist decision-makers in Major League Baseball at the league and club levels. In this talk, we will discuss three applications of data science for Business Operations at the Milwaukee Brewers Baseball Club.
