Tips for finding funding opportunities
Research funding from private foundations plays a critical role in advancing scientific discovery, creative scholarship, community engagement, and innovation. These foundations, often established by individuals, families, or corporations, provide grants and financial support to researchers and institutions focused on a wide range of topics. These programs can support early-stage projects as well as high-risk research. Private foundations can also offer new networks of expertise and collaboration to the university research community. The UNCG ORE Office of Research Development is available to assist faculty and other university researchers in locating private foundation funding sources for their research and creative scholarship.
