Helping Researchers Secure Funding
Securing funding is a crucial step to driving innovation and discovery. Whether you are a Case Western Reserve University faculty member pursuing grants for your research, a pre- or post-doctoral trainee looking for funding to support your studies or a staff member looking for resources for proposal development, the Office of Research and Technology Management (ORTM) is here to help.

Discover Funding and Collaborators
You’ll need money—and potentially collaborators—to conduct your research. ORTM has collected tips to help find both, and the team can help you understand requests for proposals and sponsor requirements.
