Funding Resources

The Office of the Vice President for Research provides UMDNJ faculty with two resources to maintain electronic CVs and seek funding opportunities. 

Community of Science is an internet-based program that provides faculty with the following,

1. Searching for funding opportunities

2. Receiving e-mail announcements of targeted opportunities based on saved search criteria. 

3. Faculty profiles on the Scholar Universe system, by which researchers can identify and contact others for potential collaborations.

The Illumina program is also a search tool for funding opportunities which includes,

1. Searching for ‘papers invited’ at conferences

2. Searching for publications based on medical terms.  

3. Users can log in from on campus computers without passwords. 

Instructions for creating a Community of Science profile can be found here, or you can call the Office of the VP for Research (2-5455) for help. 

Please contact your research offices if you need assistance with creating effective searches for the information you desire.
