There are many places to search for grant opportunities, such as:

• www.grantsnet.org – This is a great resource to search for federal and private funds for STEM and health science funding.
• www.grants.gov - The search engine for all federally-funded grant programs currently accepting applications. You can also sign up to receive regular updates on new grant opportunities as soon as they are published. Click here for a PowerPoint tutorial on how to navigate it and conduct searches.

• www.cfda.gov - Provides a list and description of many federal programs, some of which may not be listed on grants.gov (Very useful!).
• www.guidestar.org - Allows you to search for private foundations by name, location, and funding interest (registration is free).

• www.fastlane.nsf.gov - This is a website of the National Science Foundation and includes a list of grant opportunities. The NSF focuses on the STEM fields and the social sciences.

• Use key word searches on Internet search engines like Google and Yahoo!

• Ask the Grants Office staff for additional resources or ideas.
