Pivot-RP is an expert-curated source of global research funding opportunities with over $86 billion USD of available funding and over 34,000 active Funding Opportunities. It will provide faculty and research administrators with quick and easy access to the right Funding Opportunities that pertain to their areas of research.

Benefits of Pivot-RP include:

• Funding Advisor®, an AI powered feature that recommends opportunities aligned with a researcher’s profile
• Create groups of collaborators to share Searches/ Funding Opportunities
• Search for funding using different methods in one location
• Save Searches for future use
• Set Weekly email notifications
• Track specific funding opportunities

Faculty and staff can access Pivot-RP and our training guides from the Office of Research Services Intranet page under Research Resources Funding Opportunities - Pivot-RP

Please fill out our Pivot-RP Training Request – Fill out form to request a Training Session for you and your team. Sessions will also be advertised in the Funding Opportunities Weekly Newsletter.

We are very excited to share this new resource with you.
