GrantForward Profile Assistance Offered
The University of Arkansas has changed from Pivot to GrantForward as the search engine for funding opportunities and research collaborators. This new service provides expanded capabilities to identify state, federal, foundation, and international sources of support for basic grants, contracts, and fellowship applications. It also has profile information for investigators which may be used to identify potential collaborators at the U of A and other institutions.
Staff from the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research and Innovation will be in Arkansas Union 503 from 1-3 p.m. today, Monday, Nov. 25, and in Arkansas Union 507 from 9:30-11:30 a.m. Tuesday, Nov. 26, to assist faculty, staff and students in setting up a GrantForward profile. Drop in any time during those hours and bring your computer or tablet. You will be able to start getting customized grant searches and connecting with potential collaborators right away.
For more information, contact Carri George, george@uark.edu, 479-575-2411.
