Find Funds

Where to look for funding support

The Office of Sponsored Programs & Research Integrity (OSPRI) assists faculty, staff, and students in finding funding opportunities for programming, research projects, and other activities.  If you have found a funding opportunity, before starting the application process, please contact Sponsored Programs so our office can confirm eligibility.

OSPRI utilizes a software called SPIN Plus. Through this service, faculty, staff, and students can customize funding searches by keywords, specific to research and external funding interests. Participants can select to receive funding notices, by email, daily or weekly. Keywords can be edited upon request.

Additionally, funding opportunities can be found at Grants.gov for federal support and through various searching through foundation and state website.

Common External Funding Agencies

Federal Funding (grants.gov)

Federal Funding by Departments

 UCM is fully registered as an applicant with the federal government.  Do not create any registrations or request FEIN/EINs, DUNS Numbers, SAM.gov registration, Grants.gov registration, W-9s, or complete any other federal forms on behalf of UCM, your office, department, or school.  Please contact Sponsored Programs if you have any questions about registrations.
