Find Funding

Research and Innovation helps faculty identify funding opportunities that align with their research, scholarship, and creative activities. Researchers can access funding databases and opportunity search tools, including SPIN (Sponsored Programs Information Network) and Pivot-RP, which provide searchable listings of federal, foundation, nonprofit, and industry-sponsored funding opportunities, personalized funding alerts, and collaboration resources to help investigators discover and pursue external funding.
