This workshop will focus on finding non-federal sources of research funding. During the session, participants will learn tips and procedures for interacting with foundation and industry research sponsors, as well as strategies for using UNC SPIN to search and create alerts for specific funding opportunities.

Since part of the workshop will focus on how you can access the UNC license to the SPIN funding database to optimize your search for funding across sponsors, please register a SPIN User Profile prior to the workshop if you have never accessed SPIN before at UNC. All requests must be verified by an administrator, so please allow up to 1 business day for registration approval. Directions are available at https://research.unc.edu/research-development/finding-funding/spin-plus-funding-database/. Expand the “Registering a SPIN User Profile” section for the instructions.
