What is FundSource?
FundSource is a tool to help you search for programs supporting
research in the Behavioral and Social Sciences
FundSource is 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.
To use FundSource most effectively, you need to
understand what it is and what it can do. 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.
How can you use FundSource? There are three
kinds of search results you can get:
You can generate a complete list of the
FundSource organizations, and then click on those that interest you to get contact
information and a brief description. (List Search).
You can generate a tailored list of
FundSource
organizations determined by name, discipline and/or topic. You can then click on
organizations in this list to see contact information and a brief description. (Database Search)
You can generate 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. (Web Search)
FundSource also has links to:
