Funding Opportunities
The Office of Research can help match your specific funding needs to available funding opportunities – both internal and external to the university. Search the COS database, the world’s most comprehensive funding resource, which contains more than 25,000 records representing nearly 400,000 opportunities. Sign up to receive weekly “alerts” about new and updated funding opportunities or create an expertise profile to facilitate collaboration across campus and across institutions.
The Office of Research also maintains a database of limited submission programs. Learn about limited submission programs, notable programs (programs Ohio State researchers should definitely apply for) and nomination programs (prizes and awards).
