Â鶹ÊÓƵ Pivot-RP
is a web-based suite of tools used to identify funding opportunities and potential collaborators across all disciplines. It is freely available to all faculty, postdocs, staff and students at the Â鶹ÊÓƵ.
With intelligent mapping features, Pivot-RP simplifies the discovery and dissemination of funding opportunities and fosters collaboration. Pivot-RP makes connecting the right opportunities with the right people easy.
Create a Pivot-RP Profile
We recommend that you first create a Pivot-RP profile, as this will allow you to receive weekly email alerts of any updates or new opportunities that are added to your saved searches. You will also be able to share your search queries with colleagues and access Pivot-RP from an off-campus computer. In addition, other investigators with Pivot-RP profiles can identify you as a potential collaborator.
