Learn How to Use New Funding Search Platform GrantForward

The Office of the Chancellor for Research and Innovation is implementing a new grant recommendation service for campus researchers. The platform is called "GrantForward" and will replace the similar service known as "Pivot." GrantForward allows users to create a personal profile that highlights their research achievements and specifies their research interests to receive personalized grant recommendations that match their research funding needs.

VCRI will be hosting a series of workshops during the month of March To introduce the features and capabilities to potential users. Schedule with times and locations listed below. Participants are encouraged to register online and bring a laptop to the session they attend.
