Find Funding

There are many ways to find funding opportunities to support your projects. We recommend the following resources. The Office of Research also publishes monthly selected solicitations and grant calendars under our Announcements section. If you need more information, have questions or are ready to submit a proposal, please contact us.

• Grants.gov 
• Contract Opportunities 
• NSF Find Funding 
• Department of Education (DOEd) 
• National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) 
• Department of Energy (DOE) 
• Department of State 

• Foundation Relations provides links to links to information and databases on foundation funding. 
• You can also contact directly the UM-Dearborn Foundation Relations in the Office of Institutional Advancement to get help identifying and securing private foundation support in your research area/s.

• If you’re interested in working with a sponsor from the corporate or industry sector, work with both ORA and the Business Engagement Center. 

• Sign up for one or more of these external sponsor email groups and alerts.

Find out if the funding opportunity you seek is Limited (i.e., sponsor limits the number allowed per institution) and what is required by that sponsor and by U-M. Researchers therefore will only compete with others from their own campus during internal competitions.
