Pivot Funding Search
Pivot is a powerful, searchable database of funding opportunities and expert profiles. Available to all UF faculty, staff, and students, Pivot helps connect researchers with potential funders and collaborators.
Registration is free for the UF community.
Limited Submission Programs
In limited opportunities, scholars are not applying as individuals, but as a representative of an institution, whether a department, a college, or the University as a whole – and there are a limited number of available slots for members of the UF community. This can be as many as several dozen, or a few as one, for the entirety of the university.
Research Databases
UF provides a suite of research databases designed to support your search for funding, publications, and collaborative opportunities. These databases streamline the process of identifying grants and connecting with potential research partners.
Early Career Funding Opportunities
