Research and Funding Opportunities

UNE is now providing all students and staff access to a research funding opportunities database called Pivot-RP.

Students and staff can access Pivot-RP now by creating their own account using their UNE email address while UNE Single Sign-On is finalised.

Resources

To support our researchers, Research Services has compiled a list of research and funding opportunity resources.

Pivot-RP

Pivot-RP accelerates the research process by providing access to the most comprehensive global source of funding opportunities, facilitating collaborator discovery, and offering insights and short-cuts to help research organizations win a larger share of available funding. Pivot-RP unifies the Pivot® and Research Professional funding solutions, together serving hundreds of the world’s leading research institutions.
