GrantScoop trial

The Kresge Library has arranged a free trial for GrantScoop, a web-based resource for scientists who are seeking grant money. 

 GrantScoop "offers a curated, up-to-date list of private and government funding opportunities for basic and clinical researchers focused on human health," including opportunities for both U.S. citizens and non-U.S. citizens working in the U.S. It is written by scientists, for scientists.  

If you wish to try GrantScoop, instructions for creating your account are provided below. Once you are signed up, you may use a standard keyword search, a guided search, or you may enter selection criteria using 19 different parameters to identify funding opportunities the best meet your needs.

If you are currently a user of Grant Forward (the grant database that the Library currently subscribes to on your behalf) we would be most interested to learn which product you find of greatest value. The good news is that if the Library budget cannot support institutional subscriptions to both products, GrantScoop offers reasonably priced options for individuals (e.g., $25 gives you unlimited use for one week;  $75 gets you unlimited use for one month;  $400 gives you unlimited use for one year). For more information, see the FAQ.

To Access the Trial:

• Go to http://grantscoop.com
• Click on Create a User Account
• For Email, use your @scripps.edu email address
• For Plan (at the bottom of the page), select INSTITUTIONAL ACCESS
• The trial runs from December 8 – December 25.  We hope you find this useful in your work.
