Funding Opportunities

Researchers work with Research and Innovation when pursuing a wide range of externally funded projects, including grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, subawards, and other sponsored funding arrangements. These opportunities may be funded by federal agencies, state and local governments, foundations, nonprofit organizations, or industry partners and can support research, scholarship, education, workforce development, public service, and technology commercialization activities.

Internal Funding

UToledo offers a range of internal funding programs call University Research Funding Opportunities (URFOs). URFOs provide seed funding and resources to help initiate new projects, generate preliminary data, and strengthen competitiveness for external grant applications.

Limited Submissions

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.

Find Funding

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.
