Major Federal Funding

The Office of Research and Sponsored Programs offers many funding selections, however, many external funding opportunities are provided by the federal government.

The federal government provides many options for external funding for research projects, research-based training programs, and other educational endeavors. All federal grant opportunities must be posted on Grants.gov - a resource for finding federal funding as well as a portal for submitting grant applications (for agencies only). You can read more information about Grants.gov by visiting the ORSP "Grants.gov" page under the "Funding" tab.

  • Note: all federal grant applications are handled by the ORSP, you can contact us by dialing x2061.

However, each federal funding agency has its website - including tips for preparing your application, links to grant opportunities, and guides about what types of research they are likely to fund.
