Additional Grant Resources
Listed below are links to both grantors and grant seekers resources. This list is by no means exhaustive, but is rather a starting point. Though some grants are cyclical in nature, many grant opportunities are made available on a variable schedule with varying parameters. Frequent checking of grantors’ Web sites is one way of finding new grant opportunities. It is often possible to join an email list for notifications of new grant listings which may expedite the grant search process.
The Office of External Funding can also assist in your search. Please consult with the Office of External Funding before beginning any grant writing activities.
