Recent Funding Opportunities Posted to the Reseach Listserv

The GCO posts Funding Opportunity Announcements (FOAs) that are recently sent to the GCO and we post them to the research listserv. Please note that some of the announcements are time-sensitive with application or letter of intent deadlines that may be due in as little as two weeks.  To receive funding opportunity emails, sign up for the research listserv and select “Grant Submission & Management.”

Recent Funding Opportunities Posted to the Research Roadmap

The Office of Research Services collects the recent funding opportunity announcements that are posted to the listserv and adds them to Funding and Training Opportunities webpage of the Research Roadmap.  Please visit this page. 

Funding Opportunities: Continuous Submission Edition

Funding Opportunities: Monthly Edition

Committee on Special Awards: Limited Submissions

Many foundations limit the amount of grant applications that can be submitted from any single institution. In these cases, applications are reviewed by the Committee on Special Awards (CoSA). The primary reviewers present the proposal to the committee for discussion. Each member votes afterward by secret ballot and ranks the proposal. Based on their ranking, the committee recommends the applications to the Dean for approval. To see a listing of special grant, scholarship and fellowship opportunities, please visit the Upcoming Awards section of the CoSA website.

Federal Sponsored Project Funding Opportunity Databases

  • Grants.gov
    Grants.gov offers a centralized platform for discovering and applying for federal grant and cooperative agreement opportunities across all U.S. government agencies such as the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Department of Defense (DOD), and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). It includes funding for areas such as biomedical research, basic science, translational research, public health, clinical trials, and health-related technology innovation.

  • SAM.Gov Contract Opportunities
    You can find federal contract opportunities on SAM.gov, which includes the official U.S. government site for procurement and acquisition. Opportunities include pre-solicitation notices, solicitation notices, award notices, and sole source notices.  You can search by keyword, agency, location, and more.

    A contract is a mechanism for procurement of a product or service. Typically, compared to grants, there are greater performance expectations associated with contracts, including project milestones and detailed deliverables (e.g., reports, therapeutics, devices).

Crowdfunding

Researchers can conduct direct appeals through crowdfunding internet sites by presenting an idea and how much funding you will need to accomplish the project. We offer resources to assist Mount Sinai faculty and staff interested in tapping this funding method.

National Institutes of Health Funding Opportunities

NIH funding opportunity announcements can be found in GCO’s funding opportunity packets, the SPIN funding opportunity database and in the Federal Sponsored Project Opportunity Databases.
