Part of a researcher’s work is finding funding to grow and sustain their research. New equipment, travel, and grad student stipends are supported by grant funding.
The library provides resources for discovery of funding sources. We have two databases that focus on grant opportunities.
SciVal Funding – Despite its name, SciVal Funding covers grants in all disciplines. U.S. funders include the National Endowment for the Humanities, Pew Charitable Trusts, and the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, as well as the NIH, DoD, and DoE. Funders from Australia, Canada, the European Commission, India, Ireland, New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa, and the United Kingdom are covered as well. In order to get personal recommendations you’ll need to login and create a search profile. Your personal profile will be based on subject areas, keywords, or your publications.
Grant Forward – The Grant Forward database is compiled at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The database contains information on federal and non-federal funding opportunities in the sciences, social sciences, arts, and humanities. If you create an account, you can save searches and create a profile
