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. As such, HRI is pleased to announce that with guidance from the Wadsworth Center and the Center for Community Health, Health Research, Inc. has subscribed to two new Funding Opportunity Databases for your immediate use.
GrantForward contains a database of grant opportunities from over 12,000 sponsors and is updated daily. You can search for grants using keywords and advanced filters, save your favorite searches for new grant alerts, and save your favorite grants to keep track of them. GrantForward also provides recommendations based on your CV, past publications, and research interests.
You can access GrantForward at www.grantforward.com or from HRI’s website. In order to be able to use full search features including saved-search and personalized grant recommendations, please sign up (see quick demo) for a user account using your “health.ny.gov” email address. We also encourage you to take a few minutes to create your “Researcher Profile” (see quick demo) to immediately start receiving grant recommendations.
Please refer to the GrantForward Researcher Welcome Guide to get started.
