Funding Search

All Searchable Databases

Grants.gov - Serves as the single access point for grant programs offered by the 26 federal grant-making agencies. The site provides a weekly email service. USF researchers do NOT need to register with Grants.gov to search for funding opportunities. Grants.gov usernames and passwords are only required for grant submissions (note: only the Division of Sponsored Research [DSR] can submit grants via Grants.gov). See Grants.gov Search Tips

Federal Register - Provides an official daily publication for rules, proposed rules, notices from federal agencies and organizations, executive orders, and other presidential documents.

Academic Analytics - Within Academic Analytics, Faculty Insight is a search tool that enables scholars to find targeted funding opportunities and experts at their institution. Scholar profiles are populated with recent activity sourced from Academic Analytics data. Some institutions opt to supplement this with institutional data including articles, books, grants, awards, conference proceedings, and patents. In addition to being able to make corrections and additions to their data, scholars can also add additional activity not currently captured.
