Announcements :
- A Federal Research Funding Updates website from the Joint Office of Research Administration has been created to provide information for our research community. It includes a list of messages from GU leadership, guidance from agencies, and will include updates that need to be shared with the community in a timely manner.
- Learn to Diversify Research Funding Sources with Georgetown’s Operation Mindshift: Georgetown’s Operation Mindshift is a new initiative to help faculty identify and pursue diverse sources of support—including corporate partnerships, philanthropic funding, foundation grants, and commercialization opportunities—alongside traditional federal pathways. Through hands-on workshops, pathway-specific sessions, and targeted coaching, faculty will develop strategic resilience, gain tools to communicate research value, build key relationships, and align their work with market needs. Please review a short video about the Operation Mindshift initiative.
- Office of Institutional Partnerships Offers Prospect Research Training: Georgetown faculty and staff have access to several databases and services to find open opportunities (e.g. grant RFPs) and potential institutional funders (e.g. corporations and foundations) that support research. The Office of Institutional Partnerships can help you develop a grant-seeking strategy, find funding opportunities quickly, efficiently, and effectively, use major grant and foundation databases, and create profiles that do prospect research for you.
