Research Funding
The Office of Research and Graduate Studies (ORGS) offers several opportunities and resources for faculty and students to find funding for their research and research-related endeavors. The ORGS routes external funding proposals for internal approval, manages internal awards for faculty and student researchers, and assists with external funding searches.
Sponsored Projects Handbook
The offices of Research and Graduate Studies, Grants Accounting, and Foundation and Corporate Relations have developed resources to support transparent and efficient management of external funding. The result of these efforts is the Sponsored Projects Handbook (2020).
The handbook provides a guide to the management of sponsored projects at the University of the Incarnate Word, and to the policies and procedures which ensure that externally funded projects comply with federal regulations and institutional protocols.
GrantForward Funding Search and Grant Recommendation Service
The University of the Incarnate Word has subscribed to GrantForward Funding Opportunity Search and Recommendation service, which is open to all members of our institution. We invite you to sign up to use the service to keep your awareness of funding opportunities. GrantForward (see quick overview video) helps you find grant opportunities that suit your research needs with a database of grants from thousands of sponsors which is updated daily. You can search for grants by keywords and advanced filters, save your favorite searches for new grant alerts, and save your favorite grants to keep track of them. GrantForward also recommends grants to you based on your CV, past publications, and research interests. You can access GrantForward directly or from our external funding page.
