Find Funding

The University uses the collaboration software product with the SPIN product marketed by InfoEd Global. Funding searches can be performed without logging in, but to receive automated funding alert emails it is necessary to create a profile.

For those of you who are new to SPIN, there is a lot of helpful information on how to get started on the InfoEd Global website.

If you need further assistance, please contact ORPA representative Crys Holm.
