Funding Opportunities

Grant Resources

The Office of Corporate and Foundation Relations offers a range of materials, services and grant resources from foundations, corporations and government agencies to assist faculty in obtaining funding for research projects. The college needs to coordinate its funding efforts for both institutional and individual projects, so we request that faculty inform us about any plans they may have to contact an outside funding agency.

The links below list opportunities by discipline.

Grant Databases

PIVOT Proquest is a research funding opportunities database that gives administrators and development professionals a competitive edge in easily and quickly connecting the right research opportunities, funding and people. PIVOT combines a comprehensive, editorially maintained database of funding opportunities worth an estimated $33 billion with our unique database of 3 million prepopulated scholar profiles. This provides global and local connections that strengthen research by letting faculty, staff researchers and graduate students explore new avenues for funding and collaboration.

Grants.gov is your place to find, apply for and track federal grants.

To access the Foundation Directory Online, go to libguides.smith.edu/az.php. From there, you will be able to search the Smith College Libraries “Database by Title: F.”
