Finding Funding: Search Engines and Sites
Search engines can be a wonderful resource for two reasons: 1) you can tailor a search to your unique interests, expertise and stage of career (among other criteria) and 2) you can have funding opportunities delivered to your inbox, rather than having to search for them. A few common search engines are:
• Grant Forward
Grant Forward is a search engine updated daily to include funding opportunities from a variety of federal and private sources. Login from FAU the first time to create and verify your account – then you can access the site from anywhere.
• Grants.gov:
This database centralizes funding announcements for all
federal grant-making agencies. You can easily conduct simple or advanced searches and get personalized emails recommending opportunities related to your research.
• Web of Science:
FAU’s edition of web of science (WoS) includes databases in science, social sciences and arts and humanities. You can easily conduct traditional searches across the databases or find articles that cite a previously published work. The beauty of WoS is that it gives you a historical perspective of who has funded your peers’ research, allowing you to plan a path forward for your own grants. WoS also allows you to find more obscure funding sources than typical federal or state agencies.
