Prospecting
Looking for a grant that fits your project or program?
1. Review the Required Reading for SU PI/PDs.
2. Set up weekly, customized automated searches using SPIN, a searchable grants database (FREE to Shepherd staff, faculty and students).
- SPIN: Log-In Page (Your profile will need to be approved by OSP staff. This can take up to 72 hours. So, log-in for the first time BEFORE you plan on using it.)
- SPIN: QUICK START GUIDE (This is a refresher from the tutorial session, or a self-guided tour for those who prefer to work alone.)
3. When you find a grant you’d like to apply for: complete the quick and easy “Intent to Submit Form” as soon as practical!
Be sure that sponsored projects align with the Shepherd University Strategic Plan 2023-2028 .
