Funding Tools
The following are funding tools that will assist with locating funding opportunities from Federal, Non-Federal, and Internal Sponsors
Pivot
Pivot is a database of funding opportunities for all disciplines and project types. It includes federal, non-federal, foundation, and private funding opportunities. Pivot also includes calls for papers (Papers Invited) and lists of funding awards already made for projects (Awards). After signing up for an individual account, you can claim and populate your own researcher profile to receive personalized recommendations and connect with other researchers.
Grants.gov
Grants.gov allows you to search program announcements from all 26 Federal grant-making agencies through an intuitive search engine. Searches can be saved and e-mail alerts can be set up to deliver notifications when programs within a specific area of interest are posted.
Foundation Directory Online
Foundation Directory Online provides information on over 100,000 private funders, includes a searchable database of recent awards and allows users to sign up to receive email alerts.
Office of Research
Rutgers University’s Office of Research provides additional resources to find funding (Internal Rutgers Programs as well as featured funding opportunities and limited submissions).
GradFund
GradFund is a Rutgers service specifically for graduate students and postdocs searching for fellowship and grants opportunities.
NJ Department of Health Directory of Grant Programs
The NJ Department of Health Directory of Grant Programs directory is divided into separate grant programs, which provide specific services through grant awards. Many programs are funded jointly by State, federal, and other funds.
Please reach out to our Administrative contacts if you are interested in pursuing a funding opportunity
SHP Office of Research requires that faculty communicate their intent to submit a proposal in advance of the sponsor deadline.
Principal Investigators (PIs) are also required to complete an internal submission form for their new research, service, or training grant submissions. This includes pre-applications and limited submissions. This form is required to be completed and sent to the SHP Office of Research at least 8 business days before the deadline of the grant submission.
We will assist with reviewing sponsor guidelines, initiating the funding proposal in the University’s Research Administration and Proposal Submission System (RAPSS), providing tools and resources needed for proposal development, and assisting with budget development and review.
We will acquire the proper internal approvals prior to the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs (ORSP) 5 Day/2 Day deadline policy.
Please reach out if you need a copy of the form or have any questions regarding the proposal process.
Resources:
- RAPSS System
- System Guides, Training Videos, and Training Sessions
- ORSP Developing and Submitting Proposals
- ORSP 5 Day/2 Day deadline policy
SHP Research Office will assist with the review of your proposal budget to make sure the appropriate Institutional rates have been applied and that it meets the sponsor requirements.
Additional Budget Resources
Budget Outline can be used to plan your costs of the project for the Office of Research’s review and development of the ORSP/Sponsor Budget form.
Cost Share: portion of sponsored program costs not paid by the sponsor. Additional resources outlining the types of cost share can be found here.
