Are you interested in finding funding for your project? This virtual session will guide researchers through various resources and tools that are useful for identifying funding opportunities and collaborators, including:

• Pivot
• NIH RePORTER
• UM Scholar’s database
• NSF’s proposal search tool
• Dimensions

These tools enable researchers to easily find funding opportunities, set up custom and automatic search queries and to develop a network of potential collaborators. We will describe the uses of each resource, demonstrate basic, and some advanced, functions, and provide insights on which tool is most useful for various needs.

This session is appropriate for researchers from all disciplines and those interested in funding from any source. Some tools and resources covered are specific to the NIH or NSF, and some, such as Pivot, are applicable to most researchers. Come learn about the resources available to you, as well as how to utilize them to your advantage when seeking funding for an idea.
