Transition to New Grant Search Database Effective August 1, 2026
UC Davis is transitioning to GrantForward as our new institutional grant database service provider effective August 1st, 2026. Access to Pivot, the previous service provider, will no longer be available.
GrantForward maintains a database of funding opportunities from over 30,000 sponsors with daily updates, allowing you to receive the latest on open and upcoming funding opportunities.
Full access to GrantForward is available now to all faculty, students and staff. You can start using GrantForward by visiting http://www.grantforward.com/ and claiming your user profile using these instructions. We also encourage you to setup recommendations to start receiving relevant funding opportunities.
A live training will be held virtually on August 20th at 9:00 AM. Access the training using this Zoom meeting link. Future webinars are planned and will be announced in the funding newsletter and mailing lists.
