Find Funding
There are a number of things to consider as you refine your search for funding and evaluate opportunities and sponsors.
Funding Databases
Investigators at the George Washington University (GW) can use a number of web-based search tools to locate funding and contract opportunities. Begin your search using one or more of the databases listed below.
Pivot
Pivot is a searchable database of funding opportunities from federal and non-federal sources including foundations and commercial sponsors. The university's subscription to this service allows GW users to create customized searches and have matching opportunities e-mailed as they are posted.
