Research
www.grants.gov is the central resource to search for grants from all Federal agencies. Using the Advanced Search feature will allow you to narrow your search in several categories. Under Eligibility, you will want to choose Private Institutions of Higher Education. If you locate a grant that you are interested in, please contact Linda Mihalik.
The National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation have some ongoing (open) opportunities to fund research. Begin your NIH search at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/grant_basics.htm and your NSF search at http://www.nsf.gov/funding/ .
To research grants from the State of Ohio, you must use links to individual state agencies, such as Ohio Arts Council http://www.oac.state.oh.us/grantsprogs/ ; Ohio Humanities Council http://www.ohiohumanities.org/?page_id=7 .
