Introduction to Extramural Funding
Introduction to Funding Categories
FEDERAL SOURCES
The U.S. government announces daily almost all federal grant
opportunities in the Federal
Register and
almost all federal contract opportunities in the FBO
Daily. The
major exceptions are NIH grants and contracts
which are published weekly in the NIH Guide and NSF grants which
are published in the NSF Guide to
Programs.
PRIVATE SOURCES
Private sources of extramural funding include gifts from individuals
and grants from private foundations,
corporations and corporate foundations, charitable
organizations (including many well known voluntary health
organizations), and various
professional societies. For several reasons, including the existence of over 50,000
private foundations in the U.S., a comprehensive database of private grant opportunities
does not exist. However,
a number of internet
sites exist for exploring private funding options. The OGS has the Foundation
Center's
database on CD-ROM. Contact the OGS for help with identifying private
foundation and corporate sources.
