Funding Search Resources
GrantForward Database
GrantForward is the prime funding and faculty profile tool for SIUE. It allows researchers to search and save opportunities and create funding alerts. Access to GrantForward can be gained from any SIUE IP address, and off campus through an account profile.
Use your SIUE sign-in credentials to login to GrantForward.com If you have it bookmarked, the new url is https://www.grantforward.com/saml/siue-edu. If you kept yourself signed in, you will need to sign out and then sign back in through SSO.
NOTE: if you need to edit your profile on GrantForward, it is easy to delete your biography. After editing your profile, always double check that your biography is there by exiting and logging back in to check your profile.
Sometimes you can create a Kuali Research (KR) proposal directly from a GrantForward funding opportunity. Log into GrantForward, search for any grant and click it to open it. On the right you’ll see in a green box “Create Proposal.” Clicking that will link will navigate you to KR to create a new proposal with the Grant Forward boxes prefilled. You will not have to download the funding opportunity information and then store it locally; information is stored and can be referenced right within the Sponsor and Program Information section of the proposal.
