The University of Wisconsin System primarily uses two funding databases, PIVOT & GRC. These funding data-bases synthesize information from a variety of funding agencies, in effect, streamlining the funding search process considerably. UW-Stout utilizes both of these resources to provide faculty, staff and students with the best grant funding information. Both of the databases are listed below along with helpful information sheets and user information to get you started!
To access the PIVOT database from off campus, you will need to Register for Pivot at http://pivot.cos.com From on campus, Pivot can be accessed without registering as Stout's IP address will be automatically verified.Unless otherwise noted, all proposals are submitted to rssubmissions@uwstout.edu.
