Funding Opportunities


The University is subscribed to Grants Resource Center (GRC), which offers array of resources and services to help faculty and staff in their research efforts. GRC "increases your opportunities to gain knowledge directly from program officers, successful awardees, and experienced peers." One of the most important tools GRC has is the ability to find a variety of funding opportunities. GRC has a search engine known as GrantSearch, which includes 2,000 private and federal funding opportunities. When performing searches, the results "provide a high proportion of viable opportunities because the database excludes solicitations that are limited to a specific region, that make fewer than three awards annually, and for which higher education institutions are not eligible to apply or partner."  
If you are interested in finding funding opportunities, contact our office via e-mail and we would be more than happy to set up a meeting with you to discuss possible opportunities for you.

GrantWatch is a newly paid subscription by our University. One can view all current grant applications for nonprofit grants, for-profit grants, small business grants, Federal, state, foundation, corporate giving and local grants.

A limited submission program is a funding program in which the sponsor sets an institutional limit for the number of applications or pre- and full proposals our campus can submit. Colleges will facilitate their own internal competition and forward one to three recommendations to ORI within the prescribed timeline. Final proposal selections will be made by the Associate Vice President of Research based on scientific merit, capacity to develop a sustainable research program, alignment with the TAMUK strategic plan, and broader impact to the university community. Please visit our Limited Submission Process page for more information.
The Office of Research and Innovation at TAMUK will update our limited submission list as frequently as we can. If there are any opportunities that have limitations and are not on our list please contact us via e-mail osr@tamuk.edu, so that we can add to our list with a reasonable timeline for colleges to notify our office of their selection. With that being said, please view our list of current Limited Submission Opportunities.

Grants.gov is your source to FIND and APPLY for federal grants. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is proud to be the managing partner for Grants.gov, an initiative that is having an unparalleled impact on the grant community. Their mission is to provide a common website for federal agencies to post discretionary funding opportunities and for grantees to find and apply to them. Beneficially, utilizing the Grants.gov system makes "it faster, easier and more cost effective for grant applicants to electronically interact with federal grant-making agencies. It also provides the following key benefits, among many others, to the grant community."
