Research Newsletter

4. Funding Opportunities

The Office of Research Resources regularly sends relevant calls for proposals, program announcements, and RFAs to appropriate faculty members so that they are notified of these in a timely fashion. Complete lists of currently active RFAs and PAs are available on the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) web site. In addition, Columbia University's Office of Research Administration has a web site devoted to Limited Submission Funding Announcements. If you know of other calls for proposals to add to the next ORR Newsletter, please let Kristine Kulage know.

Funding Databases to which Columbia University subscribes are now accessible through the new Columbia University InfoEd eRA Portal - Streamlining Electronic Research Administration. These databases can be searched online via keyword and several also provide regular e-mail notifications which can be set up with specific preferences by the user. SPIN and GENIUS are currently available through the InfoEd web site. Other databases include

• Grants.gov
• GrantsNet
• SMARTS
