University of Oregon

University of Oregon supports research planning and external grant seeking through its Office of the Vice President for Research and Innovation and the university’s Research Development Services. From its Eugene, Oregon campus at 1266 University of Oregon, Eugene, OR 97403, the institution organizes practical pathways for researchers who need to identify funders whose eligibility, criteria, philosophies, and funding focus align with a project. Its research support structure spans planning, proposal development, training opportunities, graduate research, undergraduate research, honors and awards, internal funding opportunities, and external funding opportunities. Within that framework, the university highlights targeted funding pathways such as Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Funding, Early-Career Funding, Sabbatical Funding, a Funding Opportunities Newsletter, and the Pivot Funding Opps Database. It also manages special institutional processes for Limited Submission Opportunities, which require internal review and deadlines when a sponsor limits the number of applications a university may submit. For foundation and nonprofit grant seeking, the university directs applicants to Foundation Relations, integrating private foundation, trust, and nonprofit funding into its broader research development work. University of Oregon also connects researchers to major federal and international funding ecosystems. Its external funding guidance points investigators to more than 900 grant programs across 26 federal grant-making agencies through Grants.gov and names agencies such as NIH, NSF, NASA, NEA, NEH, the Institute of Education Sciences, the U.S. Department of Energy, the U.S. Department of Education, and Department of Defense research offices. The university further supports strategic awareness through Federal Research Funding Priorities and Advocacy and encourages researchers to study past awards from agencies including NIH, NSF, NEA, NEH, and IES. Internationally, it identifies opportunities tied to Horizon Europe, the Government of Canada, the Australian Research Council, United Kingdom Research and Innovation, and other global funders, underscoring a research enterprise that serves both domestic and international collaboration.
