Emporia State University Research and Grants Center Mission Statement Welcome to the Research and Grants Center home page.
Many resources are available to assist faculty and staff in the search for external funds.
Our resource library in Plumb Hall 313G contains many references that detail federal and private funding opportunities, i.e., Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance, Annual Register of Grant Support, and the Foundation Directory. Weekly and monthly publications are available, such as Federal Grants and Contracts Weekly, The Grant Advisor, OFP Reports, and OFP Deadlines, and the library also contains annual reports of numerous private foundations as well as many references on proposal writing. SPIN, owned by InfoEd Inc., stands for Sponsored Program Information Network and contains information on over 6,500 funding opportunities targeted primarily to institutions of higher education. The SPIN database contains current detailed information about federal and non-federal programs including fellowships, travel support, research, collaborative projects, sabbatical support, publication support, and more. Subscription is limited to ESU faculty and staff.
