1. Identify Funding Opportunity
Step 1.
Grant information dissemination is managed by the SDSU Research Advancement team.
The Research Advancement team utilizes a publicly available database curated by Hanover Research. This system allows for customization and connects grant-seekers to proprietary grant support services that they have contracted for with Hanover.
Please sign up for notifications on the Hanover Research website.
Pivot is a customizable, keyword-based grant opportunity search engine. You have access through SDSUid single sign-on. For information, please visit the SDSU Library Guide for Pivot: Funding Resource. For questions, please email Wil Weston at [email protected].
- This grant opportunity database is useful for broad keyword searches. Access SPIN at the link below, or if you have access to InfoEd’s proposal development module, you will see SPIN when you log in to the system.

- Tip: Be creative with vocabulary and familiarize yourself with the word lists. It is helpful to type the first few letters of potential keywords in the search box, as it will populate possible matches.
We recognize that not everyone seeks funding opportunities with the same intensity at the same time. If you would like a more specialized search experience, contact Nadia Campbell at [email protected].
SDSU Research Foundation offers a variety of workshops and trainings to prepare faculty to work with us and to succeed in the grant world.
Please visit our schedule of Grant-related Workshops. If you have questions, please contact Melanie Patton at [email protected].
The Division of Research and Innovation also hosts workshops and trainings. See the SDSU Engagement Hub for upcoming opportunities.
