Tips for Finding Funding
- The website funding.research.umich.edu, curated by the U-M Library, provides a more comprehensive listing of funding resources.
- Searching resources like Grants.gov or ProQuest's Pivot (a service which U-M provides for use by staff and faculty) will yield more external opportunities. Both resources offer options for automated email updates based on your preferences and research area(s).
Please review this month's featured internal and external funding opportunities.
