Research funding opportunities

The UWS Research Funding Bulletin is produced periodically throughout the year and contains many grant opportunities.  The Bulletin and internal UWS funding opportunities can be reached via the links on the Office of Research Services home page

Pivot is a searchable data base of funding opportunities.  It can use pre-populated scholar profiles (links to your UWS profiles) to potentially match expertise and interests.  School of Law staff can register for a Pivot account.
