Search Engines
Rosalind Franklin University provides subscription for researchers to on-line funding resources. These resources house a tremendous number of funding opportunities and provide powerful ways of searching them.
SPINPlus is a web-based system that includes a database of funding opportunities, a database of investigator profiles, and a matching alert service. SPINPlus includes the following three modules:

SMARTS Module: is an electronic matching and funding opportunity notification system which provides investigators with a direct and targeted electronic link to comprehensive, current, and available research funding information, both nationally and internationally. The investigator profile information is collected via forms in GENIUS and used for matching with the SPIN database. Matching is conducted on a daily basis and programs are automatically emailed to individual researchers.
