Where to Look

  • Look for funding opportunities forwarded by your Chair and/or Dean bi-weekly.
  • Check out this spreadsheet of funding opportunities with grant deadlines coming up this year. They are sorted by program area on individual tabs and listed chronologically beginning today. Keep in mind that many grant programs repeat each year; so it is noted when they are/were due this year, to give people a general idea of when they might be due next year as well (especially for those with deadlines coming up quickly!)–to better aid you with planning ahead for future submissions.
  • You may subscribe here to one or more topic-based email groups, in order to receive new funding opportunity announcements I find each week, based on those topics.
  • Find archived funding opportunities here.
  • Funding Searches in SPIN, which contains over 40,000 funding opportunities from federal, non-profit, and foundation sources. You can set funding alerts to be sent to you via email as well.
