Introduction

In this tutorial, the goal is to find sources of funding information. The tutorial begins with a visit to the University of Texas at Austin VP for Research Office web site, an important source of information for UT Austin researchers. The next section of the tutorial covers federal funding sources and web sites, where to look for State of Texas funding information, and foundation information. The final section of the tutorial focuses on the Community of Science as a source of "one stop shopping" for funding information. Instructions for setting up a personalized Community of Science funding alert conclude this tutorial.

A number of funding agencies offer alert services or e-mail bulletins. These services are identified with an icon throughout the tutorial.
