Non-Federal Funding Opportunities
Institutionally Limited Funding Opportunities
New: We are excited to announce the launch of Jefferson’s InfoReady Portal, a new tool for announcing, applying for and reviewing all institutionally competitive funding opportunities. Through the InfoReady portal, you will be able to review details and deadlines regarding upcoming non-federal institutionally limited funding opportunities, submit pre-proposal materials for review, and see the results of your submission. Reviewers will also be assigned and provide their feedback through the portal.
Please take a few minutes to access the site and to familiarize yourself with the portal. To access the Portal for the first time, you will use your Jefferson campus key and password. Please review the following Applicant Experience Training Video for an introduction to InfoReady.
What is an institutionally limited funding opportunity? Some foundations limit the number of applicants per institution. An internal competition will be managed through a subcommittee of Jefferson's Committee on Research (JCoR) to select the Jefferson applicant for each.
- Please DO NOT apply directly — unsolicited applications may disqualify Jefferson from future competitions.
- Limitations vary from foundation to foundation. Please wait for JCoR to release each opportunity announcement for application and funding details and instructions.
- These notices are distributed by OIAFundingOpportunities@jefferson.edu through the FT-Faculty, Chairman, and Dept-Admin list-servs. If you are not on one of these three distribution lists, please contact adrea.cope@jefferson.edu
Below is a list of foundations and associations that host institutionally limited funding opportunities annually and their final deadlines; notifications generally go out two months in advance.
