There are a wide range of funding opportunities available for UM's researchers within the US federal government, foundations, non-profit entities, corporations, and local and state government. Navigating funding announcements and identifying those opportunities which best match science and scientist can be challenging. While Research Administration generally does not search for funding opportunities for individual faculty members, this section of our website provides information on internal and external funding sources.
