Funding
FDU Intramural Funding
The University Provost Intramural Grant program is published each spring to cultivate FDU faculty research, offering project support, professional mentorship, and research protected time as needed. Proposals are peer-reviewed, must be meritorious and have the potential for extramural support. Read more about the grant program.
You may also inquire with your College administrative office about College Grant-in-Aid opportunities. Please note that these programs are outside the purview of GSP.
Extramural Funding
Search Engines
The Office of Grants and Sponsored Projects (GSP) recommends three primary search engines for identifying potential extramural funding opportunities. They are:
- GrantForward (for government and non-government opportunities)
- Grants.gov (for federal opportunities)
- The Foundation Center (for foundation and private-non-profit opportunities)
Additional agency links for Federal Sponsoring Agencies and State Sponsoring Agencies can be accessed via the navigation tabs on the left.

Grants.gov
Grants.gov is a centralized portal used by the majority of federal agencies for (a) finding government funding, and (b) submitting and tracking government grant proposals. Proposals to federal agencies have all transitioned to electronic submission.
Grants.gov, as a search engine, is a comprehensive source for locating and learning more about federal funding opportunities. It permits the execution of basic or advanced searches by agency, grant category or keyword. Automatic updates are also available by signing on for email alerts.
Grants.gov, for proposal preparation and electronic submission, allows for system-to-system transmission of grant proposals. The GSP is registered to officially submit proposals electronically on behalf of FDU.
