External Funding Resources

  • American Association for the Advancement of Science - Federal Funding Research and Development - Keep close tabs on the federal budget through this web site.
  • Foundation Center - This is an invaluable resource for particularly funding from the private and corporate sector. If you can't find a funding agency, information will most likely be found here.
  • State of Connecticut - Provides instant access to all the State agencies/organizations and their grant opportunities.

Federal Funding Alerts & Listservs

  • Department of Education News Bulletin E-Mail Service - This information service delivers two or three e-mail messages a week, which include budget changes, initiatives, updates and legislation affecting the Department of Education and research and statistics.
  • Environmental Protection Agency: Sign up to be alerted to EPA research opportunities:
  • National Aeronautics and Space Administration - Funding alerts systems are in place in three divisions: The Office of Space Science, which is responsible for all of NASA's programs relating to astronomy, the solar system, the sun and its interaction with the Earth. You may subscribe to periodically receive information of major events and/or new information.
  • National Institutes of Health Weekly Guide to Grants and Contracts-LISTSERV Service - Each week the NIH transmits via LISTSERV e-mail the Table of Contents (TOC) information for that week's issue of the NIH Guide. Associated with each TOC entry is the WWW address for each Guide article.
  • National Science Foundation - Custom News Service - For anyone wishing to know about new NSF publications as they become available. They include new program guidelines, news releases and other publications of interest to researchers.
    • FastLane - Investigators who anticipate doing business with the National Science Foundation MUST sign up for FastLane use by being issued a PIN number through the Office for Sponsored Programs. As NSF is one of the lead agencies in fostering total electronic research administration, they are requiring in many of their competitions that the Principal Investigator submit at least their cover sheet and abstract page through the Fastlane. FastLane also provides a secure site in which to develop an entire proposal for electronic submission. This is particularly convenient if you are working in association with colleagues at other universities who need access to your proposal as it develops. Contact Joni Gould at the Office for Sponsored Programs (X68553) to get your assigned PIN number.
