Find
Funding
How can you find funding opportunities?
Locating funding and matching your project ideas to
a funding agency's needs can certainly be a challenge. ORSP
can help you locate external funding by utilizing many resources.
Once a potential funding agency / program has been identified,
we will review the program guidelines and proposal application
with you, as well as help you develop a time line for proposal
development.
There are a variety of online publications,
searchable databases, and funding notice listservs that can
be useful in your search. You should also take advantage of
our connections to local award recipients, program officers,
and funding agencies as well as our subscriptions to funding
notice publications.
Is the funding agency appropriate
for your project?
Consider the following:
- Eligibility requirements
- Average Award
- Matching Requirements
- Reporting Requirements
- Subsequent Funding
If you are seeking cash gifts designated for any
type of research, unrestricted cash gifts, or donations of equipment
and other non-cash items used in research, you should
contact university Advancement.
Some foundations limit the number of applications that can be
submitted from an institution. Some proposals are best submitted
by the SFA Foundation rather than the university.
If you are seeking philanthropic gits from foundations
and individuals you should contact ORSP for assistance with solicitation procedures.
Links to Potential Funding Agencies
Once you've decided that an agency may be a good match, make
contact with the agency's program officer to discuss your ideas
and needs. They are there to help! Familiarize yourself with
the agency's procedures, forms, lead time (time after proposal
submission and before award announcement), etc.
