Federal Resources

Grants.gov is a government initiative that will have an unparalleled effect on the grantee community. As an online system, Grants.gov is focused on improving access to services via the Internet. It is currently the single access point for over 900 grant programs offered by the 26 Federal grant-making agencies, allowing organizations to electronically find and apply for competitive grant opportunities. As the portal for grant applications, Grants.gov will replace federal agency-specific proposal submission systems that have grown in recent years, most notably NSF’s FastLane, DOE’s IIPS, and NASA’s NSPIRES. Applications will be submitted electronically by institutions through the Grants.gov portal to be forwarded to the respective funding agencies; over time applicants will no longer apply directly to individual funding agencies.

Faculty & Staff interested in applying for any funding opportunity should contact OSP for assistance.

ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) provides unique identifiers for the purpose of research and scholarship and is available to faculty, staff, researchers, and students. You can register and obtain a unique identifier that can connect all of your scholarly activity to your name.

How do you register for ORCID?

You can register for your 16 digit unique id here: https://orcid.org/register. Once registered, this is now a “one stop shop” for all your scholarship needs.

For more information about ORCID, contact Mason Yang, Electronic Services Librarian at: mason.yang@marymount.edu.
