PIVOT Funding Opportunities Database

PIVOT focuses on what matters most to research administrators, research development professionals and their institutions: the ability to identify and connect funding opportunities to researchers at their institution. Pivot combines the most comprehensive, editorially maintained database of funding opportunities worth an estimated $33 billion with our unique database of 3 million pre-populated scholar profiles, drawing from Community of Scholars and Community of Science profiles. Its proprietary algorithm compiles pre-populated researcher profiles unique to your organization (and others) and matches them to current funding opportunities in the expansive COS database. This allows users to search for a funding opportunity and instantly view matching faculty from inside or outside your institution. Conversely, a search for a scholar will link to matching funding opportunities.

PIVOT is accessible to all Â鶹´«Ã½ faculty, staff and students, and can be accessed from any campus computer. Registration to PIVOT also allows off-campus logins.

To access PIVOT from off campus, you must create your PIVOT account.
