Funding Resources
The Office of the Vice President for Research provides UMDNJ researchers with two resources to maintain electronic CVs and seek funding opportunities.
Pivot is an internet-based program that provides faculty with the following,
-
Searching for funding opportunities
-
Receiving e-mail announcements of targeted opportunities based on saved search criteria.
-
Faculty can choose ‘claim profile’ to link to their publication history that the company has already created for many researchers. Note: this is not necessary to do searches or get e-mail alerts.
Proquest is also a search tool for funding opportunities, and in addition includes,
-
Searching for ‘papers invited’ at conferences
-
Searching for publications based on medical terms..
-
Users can log in from on campus computers without passwords.
Instructions for creating Pivot & Proquest profiles 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.
