Government-sponsored grants comprise the majority of sponsored research funding at Princeton. The federal government provides tens of billions in federal funding through 26 funding agencies. Grants.gov is the single access point for most grant programs, and features a free search tool.   Note that Princeton is already registered with Grants.gov. No additional registration is required. 

The University's office of Corporate Engagement and Foundation Relations (CEFR) helps researchers identify and manage funding proposals to corporate and foundation sponsors. CEFR maintains relationships with sponsors that support research across a spectrum of scholarly endeavors. Researchers interested in external partnerships are strongly encouraged to contact them. 

University-funded opportunities are available to support specific research projects. These are managed by a variety of departments and offices. To learn more, visit the office of the Dean for Research.

The Foundation Center compiles an extensive list of funding opportunities. For full access, visit the Foundation Directory from on-campus computers or via the Princeton University Library collection of Articles and Databases, found under Library Resources.
