Funding Agency Opportunity Alert Sign Up
From SIResearchInnovationOffice
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 [[http:www.cos.com|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.

Aggregated Opportunities
Community of Science
Signing up for email alerts from Community of Science is your best bet for the best matches for your research interests. This is also the best source for information about opportunities from the Department of Defense branches. As they do not have their own listservs (as far as I can tell - but correct me if I am wrong).
Grants.gov

Personally, we recommend searching on this site it you want to do a search to find funding for an opportunity to support an idea you are trying to find funding for rather than signing up for an RSS feed from grants.gov. But you can if you want....http://www07.grants.gov/help/rss.jsp
Foundation Center
This is a fantastic website that prepares you and guides you to the world of Foundation and even Corporate support for projects. I encourage anyone interested in seeking support from foundations to browse their site. They even have a short course in proposal writing for support from foundations. http://foundationcenter.org/getstarted/tutorials/shortcourse/
The University of Michigan has a subscription for University members to use their Foundation Directory Online. [DONNA - HOW CAN PEOPLE ACCESS THIS?]]
