If you are new to Columbia University, the following resources will facilitate your search for research funding and ensure that you are informed of the University's research polices and procedures. In addition to the below list, new faculty are encouraged to review the multiple Grantsmanship Training resources developed by the Office of Research Initiatives.
Announcements for limited submissions and other important funding opportunities are distributed to the research community at Columbia via targeted email distributions. A contacts database is maintained by the Office of Research Initiatives feed by HR data, which is updated regularly. This allows announcements to be targeted based upon the disciplinary focus and eligibility terms of the program being announced. There are several ways to ensure that you receive these announcements.
