Grant Resource Center (GRC)

and

GRC's GrantSearch

The Grants Resource Center serves as a liaison to federal funding agencies, provides monthly electronic announcements of forthcoming deadlines and grant opportunities, and provides personal assistance in identifying funding sources or obtaining information from federal agencies. Faculty and staff have access to GRC’s website, which contains electronic versions of GRC Deadlines and GRC Reports, the GRC Bulletin, Federal Register announcements, federal agency and private foundation links, and a searchable grant database (GrantSearch).

Additional services of the GRC include:

• Proposal library
• Links to federal agencies
• Customized funding searches
• Bulletins with current or pending funding opportunities and deadlines
• Announcements of training events and conferences

Please contact your Grant Coordinator if you should need any assistance with these additional services.

GrantSearch is designed exclusively for GRC member campuses. It was developed to make finding federal and private foundation grant information accessible and convenient by allowing the user to search the funding opportunity database using five criteria: academic subject, activity, funding sponsor, deadline month, and text.

GrantSearch is accessible only through the use of a unique username and password. To access the funding database and other GRC information, please enter your Novell login information below:
