Grant Forward is available to University of Delaware students, faculty and staff from the library databases page.
Grant Forward requires that each individual user who is provided access to the database create an account. This must be done using a University of Delaware email address.
After the account has been confirmed and activated, users can login with the registered account from anywhere. A video tutorial on how to create an account is available at this website.
Grant Forward provides a powerful search engine along with sorting and filtering features to refine search results. Researchers will be able to search for sources based on keywords, by pre-classified categories, and also by sponsors and additional qualifiers.
Grant Forward includes a service where researchers can create profiles by easily uploading publications via PDF. With a Grant Forward researcher profile, information about past research experience can be used to connect to relevant opportunities. Researcher profiles can also be used to find other researchers with similar interests.
More information about Grant Forward is available, including video tutorials and tutorial documents.
Additional funding resources may be found on the Foundations and Grants Research Guide created by the University of Delaware Library.
