These grant proposals respond to advertisements called program solicitations, requests for proposals (RFP), or requests for applications (RFA), which are sent out by funding sources and posted on their web sites.
Unsolicited Grants
These grants respond to the mission or objectives of the funding source, not to a specific program or advertisement.
If you are applying to the U.S. Government, you can find information about solicited and unsolicited grants at grants.gov, Grant Advisor Plus, InfoEd, or the web sites of federal agencies.
Foundation and corporate opportunities can be located through the Community of Science (www.cos.com) or similar grant search engines, including Grant Advisor and InfoEd.
GRANT TRENDS
Increasingly, the federal government has been interested in supporting collaborative research among industry, universities, and research laboratories. When private and public researchers collaborate, the chances are better that research will turn into applications or products. Right now, the most competitive grants seem to be ones that create a network of cross-disciplinary researchers in the public and private sectors.
