Many agencies have alert systems that provide either email or RSS feed alerts specific to your research interests. The Research Office encourages you to sign up for alerts through specific sponsor resources or the Community of Science site to ensure you are getting notifications customized specifically for you. If you come across an opportunity that you think might have broader appeal to SI Faculty please pass it along to si-ori at umich dot edu. We'd appreciate all the help we can get to populate our Current Funding Opportunities resource. Below is a list of ways you can take an offensive approach to learning about funding opportunities in your area of research.
