Find Funding
Pivot-RP
Pivot-RP, a tool that answers the growing demands on research developers to quickly discover the right funding opportunities and effectively collaborate with their colleagues.
Pivot-RP's main feature is connecting faculty and student researchers with available funding opportunities. These opportunities include the sponsor, funding category (keywords), amount, application requirements and deadlines, and where to find more information. It enables you to mark opportunities in order to track them. You can mark highly relevant opportunities, ones that you are actively dealing with, as active. Tracking an opportunity enables you to receive updates when the opportunity changes and to get personal reminders about the opportunity's deadlines. For additional information about Pivot-RP features, please visit their web site - ExLibris Pivot-RP.
Creating a Pivot-RP account is easy. Please go to http://Pivot.proquest.com and click the “Sign up” option in the upper right of the screen. You will gain access to Pivot-RP by indicating that you are affiliated with CAU and signing up with your institutional email address.

Having an updated profile is an essential component of the platform and will allow you to share opportunities, build collaborative relationships with colleagues and connect with funding discovery opportunities.
From the homepage, you can manage active or tracked funding opportunities, saved searches, shared opportunities, etc., and start searching for funding or scholars.
