Using PIVOT To Find Funding Opportunities

Are you interested in finding new external funding opportunities for your research or program?

In this session, Ms. Robb talks about PIVOT, a library database that indexes funding announcements from government agencies, private foundations and nonprofits, and international sponsors. It contains information from disciplines including (but not limited to) medicine, the physical and social sciences, as well as engineering.

PIVOT allows users to easily limit results by criteria including citizenship, geographic location, or career stage. PIVOT Funding Alerts provide a weekly, individualized notification of new & updated funding opportunities based on the user’s saved searches.
