Wayne State University's Division of Research & Innovation works with GrantForward as the university’s funding search and grant recommendation platform.

DORI invites you to register for the service to stay up to date on available funding opportunities. To learn more, we are hosting a researcher training and Q&A session with our GrantForward account managers on March 27, 2025, 12-1 pm.

Please RSVP in advance. If you cannot attend, a recording of the session will be available.

We will be hosting our next GrantForward training in June 2025. More details will follow.

About GrantForward

GrantForward (see quick overview video) helps you find grant opportunities that suit your research needs with a database of grants from over 20,000 sponsors, which is updated daily. You can search for grants by keywords and advanced filters, save your favorite searches for new grant alerts, and save your favorite grants to keep track of them. GrantForward also recommends grants to you based on your CV, past publications, and research interests.

You can access GrantForward to use full search features, including saved searches and personalized grant recommendations, in one of the following ways:

• Visit the Single Sign-On URL at: https://www.grantforward.com/saml/wsu and enter your institutional account. After being authenticated, a new account on GrantForward that is associated with your email address will be automatically created, and you will be redirected to the GrantForward website.
• Go to GrantForward.com, enter ^Email^ in the Log In (at the upper-right corner), then click outside of the Email Address input box to trigger the email recognition. (Please note you must use your Wayne State University Access ID for login.) When your email is detected, choose “Click here to use Single-Sign-On." After you sign in using Wayne State's account, you will be redirected to the GrantForward website.

We also encourage you to take a few minutes to create your “Researcher Profile” (see this Tutorial demo) to start receiving grant recommendations!
