The Sponsored Project Lifecycle

Find funding

The first step in any sponsored project is locating a source of funding for your research. We make that process as simple as possible with our dedicated staff, tools, and resources.

GrantForward

Northern Arizona University’s Office of Sponsored Projects has subscribed to the GrantForward Funding Opportunity Search and Recommendation service, which is open to all members of our institution.

GrantForward helps you find grant opportunities that suit your research needs with a database of grants from over 13,000 sponsors which is updated daily. You can search for grants by keywords and advanced filters, save your favorite searches for new grant alerts, and save your favorite grants to keep track of them.  GrantForward also recommends grants to you based on your CV, past publications, and research interests. View overview video.

Access GrantForward and log in to your account. To create an account, sign up using your NAU email, or contact NAU-OSP@nau.edu and request a GrantForward account.

For information about your GrantForward account, or for additional assistance updating your password, please view the Viewing Account Settings quick tip video.

We also encourage you to take a few minutes to create your “Researcher Profile” (see quick demo) to receive funding opportunities!

To participate in a session, please email NAU-OSP@nau.edu and include your name, unit/division, and session you would like to participate.
