Grant Search Tools
NMHU ORSP reviews federal, state, and private grant announcements and provides information on about these funding sources to faculty and staff. Nonetheless, faculty and staff are strongly advised to search independently for grants for several reasons:
- You know best what interests you and meets your needs.
- Grant searching is almost entirely a web-based process.
- Alert services are now available and send email grant notifications based on individual interests.

How do I choose a grant?
Make sure:
- your needs match with the granting agency’s priorities;
- your budget is within the award ceiling;
- the application deadline is do-able; and
- the grant meets the University’s relevant laws, regulations and requirements for ensuring compliance.
Other important considerations include competitiveness, indirect cost allowance, cost-sharing requirements, salary rules, and any special eligibility requirements in the RFA. Review NMHU’s Handbook on Research Policy or consult ORSP for guidance on your grant writing issues.
