Awarded Grants

Available to all Pivot-RP users, the Awarded Grants feature enables you to gain valuable insights by searching across millions of previously awarded grants from dozens of leading international funders. By seeing how much money was given out in the past and the sort of projects that were previously funded, you can more easily decide if you should apply for certain awards from specific funders.
Pivot-RP's Awarded Grants starts with over 35 international funders and information regarding over three million previously awarded grants. See Sources for more information. Additional awarded grants will be added monthly and funders will be added on an ongoing basis.
Note that Pivot-RP uses both manual editorial curation and programmatic ingest and normalization of data which means that:
  • Data will continuously improve over time
  • You may need to select multiple institution names or try search spelling variants of investigators to discover all desired data
  • Not all awarded grants link to an investigator's profile
  • Not all awarded grants link to a current opportunity and not all current opportunities can be linked to previous winners
