Learn How to Use New Funding Search Platform GrantForward
The Office of the Vice 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. Workshop schedule with times and locations listed below. Participants are encouraged to register online and bring a laptop to the session they attend. Please note this is a drop-in event; participants may attend anytime during the two-hour session and leave at their leisure.
GrantForward Workshops
- Thursday, March 12 — JBHT 431 from 9 to 11 a.m.
- Tuesday, March 17 — ARKU 305 from 1 to 3 p.m.
- Wednesday, March 25 — ARKU 305 from 9 to 11 a.m.
