The Office of Research is excited to offer you a resource to find external research grants and funding opportunities—the Pivot (ProQuest) research funding opportunity database. The Pivot platform alerts you to relevant funding announcements as they are released, allows you to track and share funding opportunities, and supports the creation of saved searches using a variety of search options.
Pivot is available through single sign-on (Shibboleth SSO) with your App State username and password.
An in-person Pivot training session will be offered Friday, April 21, 12 to 1 p.m. in Room 222 Anne Belk Hall. Please register here.
This training will help new users:
- Set up a new account
- Claim or create their researcher profile
- Design and save a search query
- Explore additional features of the database
If you prefer a self-guided tutorial, you can find step-by-step instructions in our Pivot Quick Start Guide.
