Find Funding

The Sponsored Programs Office (SPO) can help Aurora Health Care program directors/principal investigators (PD/PI) identify external funding sources for research projects.

**A number of tools and resources are available that aid in the process for identifying potential sponsors to support these activities. Aurora Health Care PD/PIs can contact Mary Groce at 414-219-7846 to add their names to the SPO's weekly funding opportunities email list and/or may use the Funding Needs Form (Word Doc, 144 KB) to request a targeted funding search for a project. 

Things to consider when looking for funding:

• Understanding whether your project/idea is research or non-research/programmatic will narrow down your search for funding.
• Thinking about the service area and population affected by your project can help identify a variety of potential funding sources, groups/locations and focus-specific funders.
• Google.com can be a great place to start. Enter a keyword (or a phrase in quotes) along with the words grant or funding.
