Funding Resources

Searching for Sponsored Funding

Pivot™ Funding Database

Beyond the well known federal sources, searching for other funding opportunities can be a daunting task. Fortunately, Florida State University offers Pivot. Pivot is a powerful resource that can be utilized for creating custom funding searches, generating user specific alerts for  funding opportunities, and allows users to search for potential collaborators.

From any on-campus computer, go to https://pivot.proquest.com/. FSU’s IP addresses will be recognized by Pivot, so you can start searching for funding opportunities right away.

Creating Your Account

Creating a Pivot account is easy, at the website click “Sign up” in the upper right corner. Once registered, you can log in with a Pivot username and password anytime, anywhere. Logging in allows you to manage active or tracked funding opportunities, save searches, share opportunities, and search for potential collaborators. Username and password access is necessary when:

  1. you are off-campus, or
  2. when you want to save a funding record or funding search.

You have the option of accessing the system on your own, or if you contact us at research@med.fsu.edu we can help you set up a profile and build custom searches.
