There are many resources to help researchers find and prepare for available funding opportunities.
The ORS funding opportunities calendar details upcoming competitions, including information on application requirements and deadlines. The Support Programs to Advance Research Capacity (SPARC) office provides faculty grant support services for specific major funding programs (e.g., Tri-Council) including internal and editorial reviews, partnership development, strategic workshops and sample grants. Researchers can also contact the Grant Facilitator assigned to his or her faculty or unit for advice and strategy.
