Extramural Funding
We locate external funding and collaboratives that closely align with your research goals.
Funding Institutional
Funding Institutional (FI), is a searchable database containing data on funding opportunities, funders, and
awarded grants, drawn from a wide range of governmental and private sources. Faculty,
students and staff can use FI to:
- Search for funding opportunities
- Find new sources of external grant income
- Identify potential collaborators and find investigators that are securing grants in their field of interest
- Survey funding trends
- Set up alerts to be notified automatically of new funding opportunities
- Investigators utilizing FI can expect to increase grant rate success, uncover new sources of funding, and maximize time and productivity.

Limited Submissions
Many federal agencies and foundations offer grants, awards and fellowships limiting
the number of proposals that can come from one institution. To increase the chances
of funding success, UTHSC must submit its most competitive proposal, which requires
an internal competition. The Office of Research Development will notify investigators
of these opportunities according to the procedure below, and review internal pre-proposals.
Limited Submission Process
Limited submission opportunities are sent out via the Research and FundOPs listservs. These notifications will contain all information and links needed.
Pre-proposals meeting the eligibility requirements are reviewed by committee for evaluation,
with final nomination decisions made by the Vice Chancellor for Research. You will
be notified as soon as possible of the status of your submission.
InfoReady Review
InfoReady Review is used for managing applications. Please go to InfoReady Review to identify active competitions.
- Limited submissions must be routed through the ORD (jwharten@uthsc.edu). Applications submitted directly through Cayuse or to the funding agency will be deemed ineligible.
Individual Consultations
For information on all funding opportunities including governmental sources (NIH,
NSF, etc.), non-governmental disease related agency sources (American Cancer Society,
American Heart Assoc., etc.), philanthropic organizations, including foundations,
funds, and trusts, contact Jamie Whartenby, Director of Research Development.
Individual consultations can be arranged for investigators in search of funding opportunities
in specific research or special interest areas (fellowships, equipment grants, non-US
citizen-eligible grant opportunities).
