Finding Funding

The Office of Grants and Sponsored Projects can provide assistance in identifying potential funding sources.  Faculty and staff can also identify funding sources by talking with colleagues, visiting individual websites of sponsors (i.e. National Science Foundation, National Endowment for the Arts), or by searching online databases like Grants.gov, Grants Resource Center and SPIN. 

Grants.gov is an access point for over 1000 grant programs offered by all Federal grant-making agencies.
