Corporate and Foundation Relations

Funding Opportunities

Looking for funding? The Office of Corporate and Foundation Relations has compiled databases, tools, and resources to help you begin your grant search.

The resources below capture many of the funding opportunities available to Brown faculty. If you see an opportunity that interests you or want to learn more, please contact us at foundationrelations@brown.edu. Funding opportunities that limit the number of submissions will follow a nomination process led by the Office of the Vice President for Research (OVPR). CFR supports faculty nominees throughout the proposal development and submission process.

Additionally, our team is available to meet with faculty members to discuss funding needs and assist with researching and applying for non-federal grants.
