Funding Opportunities and Programs

Grants Resource Center (GRC)

Gustavus is no longer an institutional member of Pivot-RP. We now hold a membership with the Grants Resource Center (GRC). GRC is a resource that faculty, staff, and students can use to search for a variety of funding sources. Gustavus community members can utilize the GrantSearch feature and filter through hundreds of private and federal funding opportunities. Specific GRC features include:

  • Grant Search: Leverage user-friendly filters to search through 1,500+ higher education-focused funding opportunities.
  • Faculty Alerts: Create personalized, monthly funding searches based on faculty research interests.
  • Annual Deadlines: Identify and prepare applications for programs with established deadlines.
  • Limited Submissions: Learn which programs have a maximum number of proposals they will accept per institution.

To get started with GRC, you must first create an account through the AASCU website. You can create a username and password here. Please use your Gustavus email address when setting up your account. 

PLEASE NOTE: When creating a login, your campus’ name will pop up after you type in a few letters. Do not create variations of the campus’ name as that will block access.

Contact Megan Fillbrandt (mfillbrandt@gustavus.edu, x6521) with any questions you may have about this new resource.
