Find grants and funding

WVU Libraries supports researchers with access to grant and funding databases and directories so you can identify monetary sources that align with your specific research needs.

You can:

  • Utilize the Libraries tools to locate grant opportunities and funding resources, including funding opportunities based on research type, applicant profile, and specific keywords. You can also:
    • Set up custom alerts to stay informed about new opportunities
    • Search past awards and conference proposals to gain insights into successful applications
  • Consult databases and directories experts about where to start, personalized guidance via one-on-one sessions, or group trainings.
  • Attend a workshop (typically scheduled during fall and spring semesters) focused on how to use funding research tools.


Key funding research tools include:

  • COS Pivot – for funding opportunity announcements in all disciplines
  • Foundation Directory Online – for information on grant-making private foundations and private charities

Still not sure where to start?
