Funding Databases

AASCU's Grant Resource Center

The Grants Resource Center (GRC), a unit of the American Association of State Colleges and Universities, has enhanced the research and sponsored programs capabilities of higher education institutions since 1967. To access the GRC, you can create a new account using your UNC email address.

Grants.gov

In addition to being the primary electronic submission portal for grant applications to Federal agencies, Grants.gov is also a data base of grant programs from the 26 Federal grant-making agencies. There are a number of search options, including by agency, keyword, and category (arts, education, health, etc.). You may also search for a specific grant program by its funding opportunity number or CFDA number.  Grants.gov also has a mobile app so you can search for funding from anywhere.
