Office of Sponsored Programs

Looking for internal, institution-driven funding?  Please click HERE to be directed to our Internal Funding resources. Our office subscribes to three major external funding source databases—Grants Resource Center (GRC) GrantSearch, Sponsored Programs Information Network (SPIN) and Pivot.

Part of the American Association of State Colleges and Universities (AASCU), GrantSearch is a database of more than 2,000 federal and private funding programs that focus on higher education. Grantsearch allows you to search by Academic Category, Academic Subject, Activity, and Funding Sponsor to help locate the opportunities that would fit your needs. Grantsearch also has a helpful tool called “Faculty Alerts” which allows individuals to set up a customized search for their individual funding needs. The GRC will then send out a monthly bulletin tailored to a PI’s requested “alerts”. Find this function under the “Grantsearch” tab under “Faculty Alerts”. The GRC website also has a “Funded Proposal Library.” Here you can search for examples of successfully funded proposals submitted to a variety of agencies.  Contact the Grants Office to obtain an institutional username and password for accessing GrantSearch.

GRC GrantSearch Website

Pivot is a global resource for hard-to-find information critical to scientific research and other projects across all disciplines. Users can search for funding sources with their database of more than 25,000 funding record worth more than $33 billion; search among 500,000 profiles of researchers from 1,600 institutions to identify experts and collaborators; and promote your research with a Pivot profile. User profiles are free if created from a computer on the UW Oshkosh network.

There are also a number of individual agencies that publicize their own grants.  Please visit the link below for a listing of these sponsor-driven resources: sponsor driven funding resources
