Why do Universities find it challenging to find the right Funding Opportunities?

Universities want to apply for funding from a wide range of sources including government agencies, private foundations, and corporations. Each faculty requires customised searches that match an academic or researcher’s specific needs and interests, making it easier to find funding opportunities that are relevant to their work.  

There is an ocean of data out there and Researchers can spend hours just searching for different funding sources for a single research project idea. This absorbs a considerable amount of time, labour and budget and causes bottlenecks in the volume of funding proposals that a University can create and submit each month.  

For example, if you are at a university in the UK, you don’t want your database cluttered up with funding from the Australia that you can’t apply for. And if you’re a company, you don’t want to apply for opportunities that only academics can apply for.  

Making a significant investment in funding opportunity systems for small-scale research enterprises may seem overwhelming. However, in order to achieve growth and remain competitive, organisations do require solutions that are affordable and appropriately sized for their institution.  

This is where we can help – GrantsNow has been specifically designed so that it can be tailored to meet the specific research initiatives any size of institution. The funding opportunities search facility is part of our Pre-Awards system and is included free of charge with our subscription.
