Funding

The first stage in the sponsored projects lifecycle is to identify and evaluate funding opportunities. This stage includes searching for funding opportunities that match your research profile and for which both you and your institution(s) are eligible to apply.

Sources of research funding can be: federal, non-federal (including corporate partnerships, foundations or philanthropy) or international. Additionally, a number of offices and schools at the George Washington University (GW) sponsor intramural funding competitions that support research.

For opportunities that limit the number of submissions by institution, also known as limited proposal opportunities, this stage may include an internal process for reviewing and selecting proposals to be advanced.
