Funding Opportunities

We can help you find funding!

Here you can explore various funding opportunities we learn about from Stanford organizations, industry, and government that may be of interest to our Stanford Researchers. See below for details on each opportunity. This page is updated periodically, so check back often!

In addition to the research funding opportunities below, check out OTL's High Impact Technology (HIT) Fund, which holds calls for applications annually.

Don't see anything of interest right now?

Check the Stanford Seed Funding website, the Stanford Research Development Office's GrantForward, and VPDoR's Propel Grants for additional funding opportunities sponsored by Stanford-associated entities. Stanford Medicine's Research Management Group also has a list of Searchable Funding Databases.

Need additional help with seeking funding?

Stanford University's Corporate and Foundation Relations office provides additional resources, such as a vetted Requests for Proposals page (similar to this Funding Opps. page curated by OTL) and information about Applying for Funding and Clearance Restricted Foundations (foundations that require Stanford approval before applying to them for funding). The Department of Research (DoR) also has guidance on Proposal Preparation and Submission, and recently hosted an event called Navigating New Funding Routes: Beyond Federal Sources (visit the event page for a recording of the event and additional resources, some of which require SUNet login).

If you have questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to otl-connect@stanford.edu - we'll connect you with the appropriate person in our office (OTL) or at Stanford more broadly. Thank you!
