Research Grants and Fellowships

Funding for Your Research

Identifying the right funding opportunity is the first step toward a successful proposal. The Office of Research Development, Education, and Support (ORDES) offers grants prospecting assistance to help MU faculty and staff find funding options that align with their research, scholarly, and programmatic goals.

Our team supports faculty and staff in locating funding from federal agencies, foundations, and other sponsors. We provide:

• Curated funding alerts tailored to your research area

• One-on-one consultations to match your project ideas with potential sponsors

• Guidance on interpreting program solicitations and aligning your proposal for competitiveness

Federal Research Updates

MU researchers seeking federal funding, or who are currently working on federally sponsored projects, are encouraged to keep abreast of federal research updates. Relevant updates are compiled within the ORDES Federal Updates page, which is updated regularly.
