Sample cover letter for research grant application

Having harmonized extensive research endeavors with the core values of organizations, I am eager to align my skills with Ithaka S+R’s initiatives to foster academic growth and equity.

In one of my key roles as Senior Research Analyst at The RAND Corporation, I spearheaded a comprehensive evaluation of digital resources within academic institutions. This project not only improved the educational landscape for over 30 institutions but also underpinned a strategic shift, emphasizing the integration of digital tools in pedagogy. The initiative resulted in an exceptional increase in project efficiency by 25%, a testament to the advanced qualitative methodologies I employed and a reflection of my capacity to effectively manage large-scale studies and resources.

Your team’s commitment to actionable research deeply resonates with my professional objective to drive sustainable educational policies. I am confident that my strategic oversight and my proven track record in securing considerable grants and conducting transformative research will be an asset to your organization. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss how my background, skills, and enthusiasms can contribute to the continued excellence and innovation at Ithaka S+R.
