Using Pivot to Find Funding Opportunities and Collaborators

Presented by the Research Development Office, Office of the Vice President for Research

What is Pivot?
Locating and securing research funding is becoming increasingly competitive, as funding opportunities are limited and the number of researchers vying for those dollars continues to grow. Pivot accelerates the research process by integrating funding, collaborator discovery and publishing opportunities into one powerful tool. Pivot connects researchers to financial support by leveraging the most comprehensive global source of sponsored funding opportunities and provides scholarly profiles to match researchers with financial partners and collaborators.

Session Details
An overview of Pivot functions will be provided including conducting and saving tailored funding searches, identifying potential collaborators, updating scholarly profiles, and identifying publishing opportunities. Best practices will be shared that will assist in maximizing Pivot’s utility.

This workshop is open to all research faculty, staff and trainees.  Registration is not required.  Attendees who wish to have copies of the presentation or handouts should sign the attendance sheet at the workshop.
