Funding Search

There is a lot you can do on your own to find potential funding. Before you start a search, consider these questions:

  • What do you want to accomplish?
  • What is the need for this project or research?
  • Who will benefit from this project?
  • What is your need for funding (salaries, equipment, travel)?

Start some online searches of professional organizations and associations in your field. Look at government agencies that fund other projects in your field. Check similar projects at other institutions to see who may have funded those projects.
