Finding Funding Opportunities
There are many databases listing available funding opportunities for use by UCLA faculty, students, and staff. Please find below links to these resources. Some of these databases have funding alert programs that can be customized to your interest so that you only receive solicitation notices that meet your field of study.
Please note that some private funders have requested special coordination of applications with the University. Please refer to the Foundation Relations & Corporate Philanthropy website for an up-to-date list of these private funders. Please contact Kristie Allen, Associate Director, Corporate and Foundation relations for additional assistance.
