Funding Databases

Towson University subscribes to a web-based search engine that can be used to identify funding opportunities. Additionally, members of the TU community can contact the OSPR to request a personalized funding search.

Request a Funding Search

Locating funding can be one of the most challenging steps in the grant process. The OSPR is able to offer specialized support to help you identify viable funding opportunities for research projects and other programming.

Virtual office hours for funding searches are available. Before attending, please send an abstract to the OSPR at ospr AT_TOWSON. If you have a projected timeline, budget, or keywords that information is helpful as well.

Wednesdays from 10 am to 11 am.

Virtual Office Hours

If you have any questions, or would like to schedule a funding search session outside of office hours, send an email to ospr AT_TOWSON

GrantForward
