Pivot focuses on what matters most: the ability to find both appropriate funding opportunities and other collaborators in your area of interest. Pivot provides the most comprehensive, editorially maintained database of funding opportunities for research, fellowships, travel grants, and more. Plus, it integrates this with our unique database of three million pre-populated scholar profiles, which makes finding funding and collaborators quick and easy.
Find Funding Now and for the Future
Pivot provides you with your own home page to track your most important active funding opportunities or keep an eye on opportunities for future projects. In addition, you can make the most of your time by saving your searches and receiving weekly alerts that meet your criteria.
Not sure where to start? Pivot helps to jumpstart the process with the Funding Advisor, which matches funding to the profiles in Pivot. Claim or create your Pivot profile to receive funding recommendations based on your experience and expertise. (Note: Newly created profiles are editorially vetted before being visible on Pivot.) Funding matches provide a starting point for funding, and introduces opportunities, sponsors, topics, and keywords that can be used for your own searches.
Connect to Collaborators
Search for potential collaborators at your institution or beyond. Pivot provides user-friendly tools to refine your search that identify people you may not know. In addition, Pivot expedites the discovery process by presenting links from funding opportunities to find possible collaborators and makes it easy to share funding opportunities with colleagues and follow up on shared items. You will soon be able to set up your own collaborative groups within Pivot.
