Find Funding
The Office of Research and Innovation (OR&I) at Michigan State University is committed to assisting scholars in all aspects of finding funding and developing proposals for support of their research and creative endeavors.
OR&I primarily focuses on faculty support, while the Graduate School and the Undergraduate Research Office offer internal funding opportunities and resources on extramural funding for students.
All researchers have access to the MSU Libraries search databases and other relevant resources, including exclusive subscriptions such as the Foundation Directory Online Professional.
