A curated selection of grants and sponsored programs from federal agencies, foundations, industry partners, and other funding organizations.

External Funding

UToledo offers a range of internal funding programs that provide seed funding and resources to help initiate new projects, generate preliminary data, and strengthen competitiveness for external grant applications.

Internal Funding

Limited submission opportunities are funding programs that restrict the number of proposals an institution can submit, requiring an internal selection process to determine UToledo's nominees. Research and Innovation coordinates these opportunities and manages internal competitions to ensure the most competitive proposals are advanced to the sponsor.

Limited Submissions

Working with the UToledo Foundation helps researchers access philanthropic funding and donor networks that can support innovative or early-stage projects not always funded by traditional grants.

UToledo Foundation

UToledo provides access to a variety of external funding resources - including SPINPlus, Grants.gov, and other federal and foundation databases - to help identify and track relevant funding opportunities across disciplines. These tools allow researchers to search funding announcements, receive customized alerts, and access application information to support proposal development.
