Using Pivot for Funding Opportunities in Graduate School
This presentation will cover finding funding opportunities available to graduate students through Pivot. Locating and securing research funding is becoming increasingly competitive, as funding opportunities are limited and the number of researchers vying for those dollars continues to grow. Graduate researchers can gain a competitive edge when identifying funding opportunities with Pivot, a web-based discovery and workflow tool that combines a comprehensive source of $44 billion in global funding opportunities with the largest collection of scholar profiles into one intuitive solution. With Pivot, graduate researchers can easily explore new avenues for funding, view funding opportunities uniquely matched to their scholar profile, collaborate with colleagues and manage the results of the process to build a funding strategy that supports both immediate and long-term funding needs. It is highly recommended that all attendees bring their laptops in order to fully participate in this session.
