This guide offers tips and information on researching grantsmanship and provides links to granting agencies and organizations. It is a starting place for students and others who would like to know more about grants and the grantseeking process.

There are different types of grants:

• Sponsored Research - Grants that provide funds for a specific research project with defined deliverables.  At the University of Nevada, Reno these are run through the Office of Sponsored Projects. Example: A grant from the National Institutes of Health for a medical research project.

• Philanthropic Grants - Grants to support programs or projects, not usually specific research projects. At the University these are run through the University of Nevada, Reno Foundation.  Example: A grant from a corporation to fund a visiting art exhibition.
