As an R1 research university, Georgia Tech relies on funding from various sources to support its research endeavors. These sources include federal agencies, private foundations, state and local agencies, private industry, and international sponsors. Below is a list of essential aspects of research funding at Georgia Tech.

Pivot Database

Georgia Tech researchers have access to the Pivot database, a comprehensive global resource for funding opportunities. Researchers can search for relevant funding options or set up email alerts based on their specific interests or sponsors. It’s a valuable tool for staying informed about available grants and fellowships.

When submitting proposals to external funding sources, Georgia Tech follows a rigorous process. All proposals must be routed through the Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP) before submission. This ensures compliance with regulations and enhances the university’s chances of securing external funding.

Office of Research Development

The Office of Research Development provides strategic and practical support for large-scale sponsored research projects. From proposal development to project launch, this office assists researchers in navigating the complexities of grant applications and project management.
