What is FundSource?

FundSource is a tool designed to help behavioral and social scientists find research funding. It has been designed to be specific to behavioral and social science research, freely available with no subscription costs, and responsive to your needs and feedback.

The FundSource database includes short descriptions; contact information; and web links to programs in federal agencies, foundations, and international organizations that fund behavioral and social science research.

FundSource Searches:

• List Search - Generates a complete list of organizations in the FundSource database. Click on those that interest you to view contact information and a brief description. 

• Database Search - Generates a tailored list of organizations in the FundSource database determined by the name, discipline and/or topic that you select. Click on those that interest you to view contact information and a brief description. 

• Web Search - Generates a tailored list of webpage URLs determined by your own keywords that will take you directly to organizations' own information about their research support. Each FundSource organization's webpages that refer to funding programs have been sent to a search engine that performs a full-text websearch. This will return all web pages that contain whatever terms you enter. This search will give you the most up-to-date information but is not as selective as the database search.
