Funding and Grants

We can help you with strategies for finding funding at every stage of your research project, whether you’re a student, faculty or staff member, researcher, or from a nonprofit community organization.

This might include finding funding opportunities through:

  • Programs and awards available on campus
  • External foundations or public charities
  • State or federal government agencies
  • Commercial, business, or industry sponsors
  • Crowdfunding

And we'll point you to databases of funding organizations and how to sign up to receive funding alerts.

Did you know the library offers grants and awards, too? See if you qualify for a library-funded award or grant to further your research.
