Funding Opportunities

Grants.gov

Grants.gov is the centralized portal, established by the Federal government, to provide a unified electronic source that will allow funding opportunity searches as well as proposal submission. The ORSP MUST download your proposal package and assemble it in our office.

There are 26 Federal grant-making agencies and over 900 individual grant programs that award over $350 billion in grants each year.  Grants.gov provides:

  • A single source for funding opportunities
  • A standardized manner of locating and learning more about funding opportunities.
  • A single, secure and reliable source for applying for Federal grants online.
  • A simplified grant application process with reduction of paperwork.
  • A unified interface for all agencies to announce their grant opportunities, and for all grant applicants to find and apply for those opportunities.

Visit the website at www.Grants.gov. The Office of Research and Sponsored Programs is registered in Grants.gov on behalf of The University of Tulsa and its employees. Individuals should not register on Grants.gov, and a registration is not required to search and download funding opportunities.

Pivot

Pivot (formerly Community of Science) is a robust tool and searchable database of nearly 2 million published scholars in a variety of disciplines. Pivot provides tools and services that enable these professionals to communicate, exchange information and find the people and technologies that are important to their work. The University of Tulsa faculty, staff, administrators, and students have free access to Pivot services and products.

For established users, update your Pivot links on websites, bookmarks, and saved searches. New users can use the tutorial link on the right for a quick search guide. To create a new account, click “sign up” at the top; this enables more features. After signing up, visit the “profile” tab to create or claim a profile and receive funding alerts. Access training modules via the Pivot Channel on YouTube. For more assistance, contact Kristen Scheer at 631-2480.
