Funding Websites & Listservs

The following websites and listservs are available to faculty, researchers, and students who are searching for funding opportunities. Please contact our Office if you plan to apply for any funding opportunities found on these sites or elsewhere.

Our colleagues at the UCSB Office of Research invite you to visit their website's Funding Opportunities page. Here you will find links to funding opportunity databases, ways to locate funding sources, limited-submission funding information, and sponsor agencies. Specifically, the Office of Research provides a bi-monthly newsletter called Funding Resources that presents new funding opportunities, details new services that the Office of Research provide and highlights new developments in research funding.

Websites

The Community of Science website allows users to search thousands of funding opportunities by keywords, dates, award type, etc. Create an account and you can save searches to run as often as you like to find new opportunities meeting your search criteria.
