Grants/Funding Sources

These are the primary databases to search for grants:

Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance - The CFDA is a compendium of Federal programs, projects, services, and activities which provide assistance or benefits to the American public. See also Grants.gov: the vision "is to be a simple, unified source to electronically find, apply, and manage grant opportunities."
Foundation Directory Online - The Foundation Center which produces the directory, is an independent nonprofit information clearinghouse which collects, organizes, analyzes, and disseminates information on foundations, corporate giving, and related subjects. (restricted to campus users and authenticated HSU remote users)
SPIN Sponsored Programs Information Network - Contains information from governmental, private, and international sources on funding opportunities in all subject areas. Provided to the HSU community by the Office for Research and Graduate Studies. (restricted to campus users and authenticated HSU remote users)

Generally useful grants websites:

GrantsWeb - From the Society of Research Administrators International, this site is most useful for graduate students and faculty seeking financing for their own research.
