Find funding
UQ provides a variety of resources to help researchers find potential funding opportunities, including a dedicated UQ portal into the Pivot-RP funding database.
UQ Pivot-RP Portal
This is the primary tool to assist researchers in finding competitive research funding opportunities. Here you can browse and search for funding easily and have funding opportunities from saved searches emailed to you as they arise.
For maximum benefit and flexibility, we recommend that you create a profile on the portal and customise searches and email alerts. Access is covered by UQ’s corporate subscription. The library provides training and support for Pivot-RP - further details are available via using Pivot-RP - Library - University of Queensland.
UQ Research and Innovation Mailer
The UQ R&I Mailer circulates important information relevant to researchers. This includes notifications of upcoming major funding rounds and Research Office information sessions, as well as other information relevant to the UQ research community.
Only UQ and QIMR email addresses can subscribe to the mailer.
