Small Grants Sources

Sources for Small Grants

Applying for smaller grants, often from non-federal sources, is a good way to start a career of funded research for scientists, technologists, engineers, and mathematicians. In the arts and humanities, small sources for funding may be all that is available.

Research Services has created a list of URLs for small and not-so-small grants. We have arranged them by discipline. The “General listing” section contains opportunities that cross more than one field in the discipline. The titles of opportunities for new faculty members are listed in red. Some may be less competitive than federal sources; however, competition for grants from the larger foundations will be stiff.

Also, the Ford Foundation offers a database of grants and foundations which is searchable by keyword and year.

1. The cultural and societal norms that affect access and equity
2. The role of K-16 in limiting or advancing access to higher education

3. National security - provide innovative technical solutions to compelling national problems that materially improve global, national, and homeland security (such as sensors and detectors for chemical, biological, and nuclear threats; mobile power sources; computer and computational science for homeland security; materials research for security applications; and transportation security)
4. Neutron sciences - provide unprecedented new capabilities for understanding the structure and properties of materials, including new opportunities for advancing fundamental studies of the neutron and the nucleus, new concepts for polarized neutron scattering, microbending of neutron beams, and other techniques to maximize the use of available neutron fluxes; new approaches to facilitate development of higher power spallation neutron sources; and developing the toolkit for structural biology with neutrons at ORNL
5. Systems biology - science related to genomics, biomolecular interactions and complexes, proteomics, molecular imaging, nanobiology, ecological genomics, and computational biology with an emphasis in bioenergy, detection, and simulation of ecosystem response (including biology of mammalian systems enabled by the mouse resource in the Russell Laboratory for comparative and functional genomics)
6. Ultrascale computing - deliver new insights and achieve breakthroughs in computer science and mathematics, science and engineering applications, and knowledge discovery with particular emphasis on petascale computing
