Searching for Grant Opportunities

There are many places to search for grant opportunities, such as

www.grants.gov - The search engine for all federally-funded grant programs currently accepting applications. You can also sign up to receive regular updates on new grant opportunities as soon as they are published.
www.cfda.gov - Provides a list and description of many federal programs, some of which may not be listed on grants.gov.
A very helpful page from a Member of Congress brings together fantastic grants preparation resources: http://cuellar.house.gov/constituentservices/grants/
www.guidestar.org - Allows you to search for private foundations by name, location, and funding interest (registration is free).
www.fastlane.nsf.gov - This is a website of the National Science Foundation and includes a list of grant opportunities. The NSF focuses on the STEM fields and the social sciences.
Use key word searches on Internet search engines like Google and Yahoo!
Ask the Grants Office staff for additional resources or ideas.
