This page is intended only for users who have administrative permissions.

As an administrator, you can:

Share funding opportunities directly with users (see Tracking Funding Opportunities)
Add notes to funding opportunities (see Viewing Funding Opportunities)

In addition, Pivot-RP provides additional features to recommend funding opportunities using curated lists and by adding a funding opportunity search widget to your website.

Creating Curated Lists of Funding Opportunities

A curated list of opportunities is a pre-selected (static) list of opportunities. Curated lists can be configured to be displayed publicly on the Curated tab for all user at your institution or visible only to you. Each curated list has a unique URL that you can send or post to make it available to anyone outside of Pivot, including curated lists not displayed to other users. By default, new curated lists are not displayed publicly to other users.

You can create a curated list or add funding opportunities to a curated list from any search results page after searching for funding opportunities.

You can create and delete a curated list. You can add notes to appear at the top of your curated lists. You can also add or remove funding opportunities from your curated lists. In all other respects, a curated list functions the same as a saved search, except that the contents are static instead of dynamic (the results of a saved search can potentially change each time the search is run).

You can also create a curated saved search; see Saving and Rerunning Searches for Funding Opportunities.

Managing Curated Lists

To create a curated list or add funding opportunities to a curated list:

In a list of search results for funding opportunities, select the opportunities that you would like to add to a curated list and select Curate (the Curate option appears only after you select one or more opportunities).

Select one of your curated lists and select Add, or enter a new list name / select Create new to create a new curated list. if you add the opportunities to an existing list, you're finished. If any of the opportunities that you selected are already on the list, they are not added again (a list cannot contain duplicates). Otherwise, if you are creating a new list, the New List dialog box appears.
