UMaine faculty, staff and students have access to two funding opportunity database programs: Pivot and Foundation Directory Online. ORD has created a curated list of funding opportunities, Pivot saved searches, and we can help you create individualized Pivot searches to meet your research and programmatic needs. Proposal development services are available for faculty and staff; students are asked to reach out to the Office of Major Scholarships or the Graduate School. For questions or more information, please contact Danielle O’Neill, Assistant Director of Research Development for Faculty Outreach and Education.
