NYU has acquired subscriptions to the following databases of funding opportunities for use by investigators across the institution. Each contains millions of dollars of funding across a broad spectrum of areas and funding sources. Each provides a number of options for searching and locating funding sources relevant to a particular investigator.

• InfoEd SPIN

SPIN is a searchable database provided by InfoEd, which provides SPA's internal grants database as well. Investigators can search this database using full Boolian searches, including keywords.

• InfoEd SPIN/GENIUS Quick Reference Card

• SPIN Step-by-Step Tutorial

Another feature of this database, SMARTS, allows PIs to set up or modify their Genius (another InfoEd tool maintained by SPA) profile to receive scheduled e-mails with funding opportunities relevant to their profiles. For assistance in setting up a custom search for weekly emails, please contact your SPA representative.

• Community of Science

Community of Science is a web-based database containing over $33 billion in funding opportunities, hosted by the Medical Library here at NYUSOM. Community of Science has similar tools to those offered by SPIN, including the ability to receive regular emails with funding opportunities that match your search parameters. Please visit http://library.med.nyu.edu/library/services/esform.html to make your request. A librarian will contact you for follow-up questions. If you would like to leave a voice mail request instead, please call 263-8483 and someone will contact you within 24 hours.

• TRAM

TRAM is a service initially developed by the Texas Research Administrators Group (TRAM). It is a service site designed to meet the needs of researchers and research administrators at institutions of Higher Education. TRAM does not provide financial support. It contains a search engine for locating funding opportunities from many different agencies. The funding information is updated daily. TRAM also contains a set of grant application forms collected from various sources, as well as standard agreements for subcontracts, non-disclosures, licenses, and links to other servers related to research funding and administration.

• Grants.gov

Grants.gov provides organizations with the ability to search for Federal government-wide grant opportunities. Users can also sign up to receive e-mails on select grant opportunities or just browse through the selection.

• GrantsNet

A searchable, continuously updated, database of funding opportunities in biomedical research and science education. It contains programs that offer training and research funding for graduate and medical students, postdoctoral fellows, and junior faculty, as well as programs in science, math, engineering, and technology for undergraduate faculty and students. Special tools and resources will help you customize your search to quickly find the information you need, keep you up to date with the latest trends in research and education funding, and give you the inside scoop on how to write winning grant applications. Membership is free.
