Finding External Funding
The Division of Research and Innovation and the SDSU Research Foundation are dedicated to connecting researchers with grant funding and other external opportunities. Please make use of the following services.
Limited Submissions
When a funding announcement is a limited submission, Research Advancement coordinates a review process for selecting the most competitive applications from all interested SDSU researchers. You can also sign up to be notified of any limited submission opportunities.
Funding Opportunities Tools
Hanover Research
We have contracted with Hanover for greater customization by you, the user. This service connects grant-seekers to proprietary grant support services. Please sign up for this notification service on the Hanover Research website.
Pivot Grant Searches
Pivot is a customizable, key-word based grant opportunity search engine. You have access to this database via your SDSU single sign-on.
Notifications Directly from Agencies
The SDSU Research Foundation provides information about how to sign up for notifications of funding opportunities directly from funding agencies of interest.
Concierge Opportunity Searches
We recognize that not everyone is seeking funding opportunities with the same intensity at the same time. If you would like a more specialized search experience, please set up a 1-on-1 consultation.
