The good news is that there are an amazing number of places to find funding; the bad news is that finding the one that best matches your needs can be very difficult. The following resources can make your search easier.
 Funding Alerts
For veteran grant writers who have already found the programs that match
their needs, we provide Funding
Alerts. This resource gives you a quick way to check a program's upcoming
due dates and special requirements. You may also view Limited Submission Funding Alerts.
Funding Databases
Although you may click on each solicitation in Funding Alerts to see
if it fits your research interests, there are more efficient ways to search
for opportunities. You can access two major funding databases from computers
on NCA&T's campus. The two funding databases, Community
of Science and SPIN,
allow you to narrow your search before you begin checking a program solicitation's
details.
Federal Funding Links
You can search for federal funding at Grants.gov.
Grants.gov is still under development so there are occasional malfunctions.
Eventually it will be the site for locating funding opportunities and
for submitting proposals. After you locate a relevant program title, Grants.gov
can lead you to the full solicitation. (You can also use COS or SPIN to
search for it.) There are three other federal sites that allow you to
search in different ways or for different opportunities. You can search
for federal business opportunities at FedBizOpps.
The Department of Defense sponsors the Defense
Technical Information Center; it gives you three different ways to
search DOD's web information. The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance
(CFDA)
has a searchable database and also lists new federal programs.
GrantsNet
is a joint effort of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and the American
Association for the Advancement of Science. GrantsNet allows you to
search for biomedical funding.
The Foundation Center provides a searchable database of foundation support for a fee. They offer a long list of foundations that provide scholarships (for free!) at http://youth.fdncenter.org/youth_scholarships.html.
Finally, you can search for funding from the federal government by
going directly to an agency's website. "View the list" takes you to
links to federal agencies. The list covers thirteen cabinet level departments
with their subsidiary units and thirteen independent agencies.
