Identifying Sources of Funding Opportunities
Sponsored Programs subscribes to InfoEd's web-based grant funding information database program: Sponsored Programs Information Network (SPIN). This service provides the campus community with access to a web-based database of funding opportunities from private and government sources. We also provide access to InfoEd's SMARTS/GENIUS service which allows Central Missouri's faculty and staff to register their fund-seeking interests, and be automatically e-mailed funding notices as they are announced.
Please note that SPIN and SMARTS/GENIUS can only be accessed from a computer connected to the web through a University of Central Missouri campus server.
