PIVOT
New funding and collaboration database is now available to campus
Pivot, an easy-to-use keyword-searchable database for finding current funding opportunities specifically tailored to research needs for faculty, staff, and students is now available. Also use Pivot to search for potential collaborators and conference calls for papers.

Pivot provides information about funding sources for researchers in virtually all fields - including non-sciences. Pivot is available for all UNLV faculty, staff, researchers, research administrators and students.

Pivot replaces UNLV's subscription to the Grants Resource Center.
Pivot 101 Workshops

The Office of Sponsored Programs will host four (4) 1-hr workshops. The workshops will provide hands-on-training covering logging in, claiming/creating a profile, introduction and overview of search capabilities, and saving and tracking funding opportunities. Each session is limited to 10 participants (bring your laptop for best results). Workshops will be held again early next spring. *A workshop recording will be available in January.
