You can locate external funding opportunities in multiple ways. This page contains a few tools to get you started, including grants databases and lists that are curated and maintained by the OSRFR.

If you have a specific funder in mind, review their funding priorities and any information on recent awards available on their website to see if your own work is a fit. You can also search our Recent Grant Awards page to see if any of your colleagues have experience with the funder.

For help in identifying funders, email us at grantsoffice@amherst.edu to let us know about your project and funding need. Include information on the timing of your next research leave, if applicable.
