Funding Search Engines

Important to Remember: If you see a Foundation or Corporation (this doesn't apply to government funding) that has a mission consistent with your program ideas, all individuals, departments, or Colleges must get "permission" to solicit the funding source from SAM to avoid potential conflicts with other ongoing or current USC submissions to that same Foundation. In the event you find a Foundation match, please provide a brief abstract to the Director of Grants and Contracts, who will contact SAM on your behalf.
