Key Resources UF's Sponsored Programs. This office processes all grant applications made by anyone working for the University of Florida, including graduate students. This site provides excellent information about all aspects of grant management, including the many legal issues involved in seeking and accepting donor funding. UF/IFAS Sponsored Programs. IFAS has its own office of sponsored programs, as do some other units in UF, such as the Medical Center. The IFAS Sponsored Programs Site includes many helpful links. Click on Funding Sources & Search Engines for some excellent links to both public and private donors. US Government Grants. This is the centralized site for all federal grant programs in the United States. Use this site to search by agency or topic for potential funding sources. Also note that everyone who submits a grant to the federal government (with a few exceptions) must now do so electronically through this web site. The Grantsmanship Center provides links to several tables by state, including, for example, the top 40 foundations giving grants in Florida. Michigan State University Grants Website. Visit this site frequently during this course. It is a good resource, especially for looking for funds available through private foundations. Additional Resources These are just a few of the many web sites that offer help in finding grants. I think they are some of the best. You may want to search for yourself. |
