The Office for Research Advancement (ORA) is happy to announce that we have an active contract with Pivot-RP. Pivot-RP (formerly Community of Science) provides a comprehensive database of active funding opportunities from federal, state, and private foundations across the United States. Researchers can search and track funding opportunities and receive notifications of grants based on their interests. This service is complementary to the existing GrantForward database, which is also still under contract.  More information is available on our ORA External Funding website. 

With Pivot-RP, researchers can:

• Search for and track open grant opportunities based on their own research interests and search criteria.

• Set up profiles to enhance networking within the institution and across institutions.

• Receive personalized funding recommendations based on their search criteria and profiles.

We will be holding an online training session on how to use Pivot-RP to search for funding opportunities, setting up personalized email alerts on new opportunities, and an overview on how to set up your researcher profile:

• Online: Thursday, May 29, 11 a.m. to noon (Pacific). This session will be recorded; please register here.
