Federal Opportunities
Grants from government agencies comprise the majority share of sponsored research funding at Princeton. Information can be found below or on our Sponsor page.
Grants.gov
The federal government provides tens of billions in federal research funding through 26 separate funding agencies. Grants.gov is the single access point for grant programs offered by all federal grant-providing agencies. You may perform searches on funding opportunities free of charge on the Grants.gov site. Select “Find Funding Opportunities” on the left-hand navigation screen and begin your searches. Note that Princeton is registered, and, therefore, no additional action is required for searching opportunities or for submitting proposals.
Pivot
Pivot is an upgraded, renamed, and greatly improved version of Community of Science (COS). This online resource contains a variety of funding opportunities including grants, awards, fellowships, travel, equipment, etc. Use it to find, track, and share funding from global sponsors, including federal and non-federal sources. Sign up to receive weekly email alerts of new opps that match your search terms.
Pivot maintains Pivot Profiles about researchers, their research interests and publications. Every day, the Pivot Advisor suggests funding & collaboration opps based on your Profile. You can update and tweak your Profile to get better matches in the Advisor.
Anyone with an @princeton.edu address, including faculty, researchers, staff, & students, can register for Pivot.
Demos can be customized for your group & time constraints. Contact Kyle Burkhardt, Pivot Liaison, at 8-7373 or kburkhar@princeton.edu with demo requests or questions. The Pivot Support page also contains PDFs, YouTube videos and webinars about Pivot.
