Description. Join RFCUNY’s Office of Award Pre-Proposal Support (APPS) as they visit Queens College and share best practices for faculty and staff to discover the right grants for their ambitions. Learn about how to use Pivot and GrantForward to uncover new funding opportunities for your research, scholarship, or special projects, no matter the discipline or department. From “just getting started” to advanced techniques, attendees will become familiar with how to use these free CUNY resources, and locate the awards that match their needs. This talk will be hands-on, with attendees exploring these resources alongside the presenter.
Recommended Preview Exercise (from Dan Siepman) If you will attend this event, you are strongly recommended to login to Pivot and GrantForward at least once before the workshop. This will help to avoid the frustration in the room especially if you have never accessed either service before and requires time to claim an account or troubleshoot. In addition, here are two tutorial videos on logging to the two systems:

Testimony
GrantsForward has a powerful search option that’s incredibly useful – it has uncovered calls for proposals I wouldn’t have known about.
