There is a wide range of funding opportunities within the US federal government, as well as through foundations and other foreign governments, multilateral and non-profit institutions, and corporations.
Navigating funding announcements and opportunities and identifying which represent the best match can be challenging. While ORSP generally does not seek funding opportunities for individual faculty members, this section of the website provides information on funding sources.
Federal Sources
Grants.gov was established as a governmental resource named the E-Grants Initiative, part of the President's 2002 Fiscal Year Management Agenda to improve government services to the public. The concept has its origins in the Federal Financial Assistance Management Improvement Act of 1999, also known as Public Law 106-107.
Today, Grants.gov is a central storehouse for information on over 1,000 grant programs and provides access to approximately $500 billion in annual awards.
