Find Funding
For help identifying funding opportunities, we encourage you to connect with a Research Development Support Coordinator, Kumi Nakadate at Kumiye.Nakadate@humboldt.edu, or Cara Peters at Cara.Peters@humboldt.edu. They can provide training on how to use Pivot, our grant database, or assist you with a personalized funding search.
Remember that most grant opportunities are available on a regular (annual, biannual, semi-annual, etc.) basis. If a deadline has passed, your Pre-Award Specialist will be happy to contact the funder to inquire when/if the next round of funding will be available. You should keep a list of potential grants and grant deadlines handy so you can develop a research plan.
Funding Sources:
- Engagement Hub - The one-stop-shop to access and search for internal funding opportunities within the Humboldt campus community. When departments or divisions advertise internal calls for funding, mini-grants, or awards, it can often be challenging to know where to look. Engagement Hub acts as one central repository for internally funded small grants, awards, stipends, etc.
