COS Pivot Funding Opportunities
COS is a comprehensive resource of funding information available on the Web. It publishes more than 15,000 sources of funding from around the world, and is updated daily.
The NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts is the official publication for NIH medical and behavioral research grant policies, guidelines, and funding opportunities. The guide includes a digest of the week’s funding opportunity announcements, program announcements, requests for applications or proposals (RFAs or RFPs), and notices of policy and procedures, changes to RFPs, changes to RFA or PA announcements, and other general information items.
Harvard Catalyst’s Grant Central connects you to federal funding opportunities (i.e., from NIH, NSF, DoD, FDA, CDC, and HRSA) directly from Grants.gov, helps you find new collaborators, and manages the grant-writing process. Use grant alerts to save searches you perform frequently. New grants matching your search can be sent to you by e-mail, or followed with RSS (Rich Site Summary) feed.
The Foundation Center collects, organizes, analyzes, and disseminates information on foundations, corporate giving, and related subjects. Because the Foundation Center’s funding search engine requires subscription-based access via a university account, please contact your Sponsored Programs Administration representative to acquire access.)
SPIN is a user-friendly database that provides detailed and timely information about thousands of federal, non-federal, and international funding opportunities. Searches can be initiated through general keywords (i.e., Quick Search) or specific criteria categories (i.e., Advanced Search). Access is available to anyone with a Harvard IP address.
