Funding Opportunities

Funding Websites & Listservs

The following websites and listservs are available to faculty, researchers, and students who are searching for funding opportunities. Please contact our Office if you plan to apply for any funding opportunities found on these sites or elsewhere.

Our colleagues at the UCSB Office of Research invite you to visit their website's Funding Opportunities page. Here you will find links to funding opportunity databases, ways to locate funding sources, limited-submission funding information, and sponsor agencies. Specifically, the Office of Research provides a bi-monthly newsletter called Funding Resources that presents new funding opportunities, details new services that the Office of Research provide and highlights new developments in research funding.

The Contracts & Grants Office routinely emails all GGSE faculty with newsletters and opportunities including the following:

  • Funding opportunities relevant to GGSE faculty, researchers and students.
  • Updates on relevant UCSB Office of Research and sponsor agency policies.
  • Announcements of grantsmanship activities to enhance the skills and knowledge of GGSE researchers.
  • Quarterly listings of awards received and proposals submitted by GGSE researchers.
