Pivot is a database that brings together research opportunities from a wide range of funders (governments, corporations, foundations, and professional societies.

Updated daily, with this tool researchers, faculty and research administrators gain a competitive edge when identifying funding opportunities.
Pivot-RP's main feature is connecting you with available funding opportunities. These opportunities include the sponsor, funding category (keywords), amount, application requirements and deadlines, and where to find more information.
Pivot-RP enables you to mark opportunities in order to track them. You can mark highly relevant opportunities, ones that you are actively dealing with, as active. Tracking an opportunity enables you to receive updates when the opportunity changes and to get personal reminders about the opportunity's deadlines.
You can also share opportunities, browse opportunities shared with you, and create alerts to be notified when new opportunities that match certain criteria are added to Pivot-RP.
Pivot maintains over 3 million faculty profiles created and maintained by our Editorial Team. A profile is associated with an institution, published papers, and funding opportunities. It is expected and recommended that Pivot-RP users also have profiles. When you first log in to Pivot-RP, you can either claim a profile as yours, if one already exists in Pivot-RP, or you can create a new profile. You can manage your own profile, or you can designate one or more other users to manage your profile; these users are known as profile proxies or just proxies.
Conferences and Papers Invited
Pivot-RP's Conferences and Papers Invited® database is a comprehensive collection of calls for papers issued by professional bodies, journal editors, and other conference organizers in all academic disciplines from all over the world. This feature enables you to search for and identify upcoming conferences and special journal issues where you can present and publish your research.
Available to all Pivot-RP users, the Awarded Grants feature enables you to gain valuable insights by searching across millions of previously awarded grants from dozens of leading international funders. By seeing how much money was given out in the past and the sort of projects that were previously funded, you can more easily decide if you should apply for certain awards from specific funders.
