• In partnership with the NTEU, we offer their members heavily discounted annual subscriptions to the GrantSearch database.
• 12 month subscriptions are usually $439.95 - NTEU members pay only $125 (including GST) i.e $10.50 per month.

UPDATE

WHAT'S BEEN HAPPENING SINCE FREE AND DISCOUNT SUBSCRIPTIONS WERE LAUNCHED?:

• Subscriptions taken out at that time are now past their expiry date, and may be renewed at the Subscription page, but there's GOOD NEWS:
• A number of universities have taken out institutional licenses, so before renewing or initiating a personal subscription, please check whether yours is one of those on the dropdown list of subscribing Institutions.

Feedback from NTEU subscribers:

'I've already been on-line since noon and found some great sources that I previously had no idea about. Thanks again.'

'Excellent. thankyou.'

'Thanks very much. That's excellent news for a rookie with a limited budget!'

'I have successfully visited this site and will find it an extremely useful resource - so on behalf of myself and my colleagues ... I wanted to thank you for your support with this.'

Why such a big discount, and why only for yearly subscriptions?

• We believe you'll find many funding opportunities your Grants/Development Office is unaware of, because we actively seek them out, both outside and within the academic sector.
• We'd like to encourage you to try our service. Those with subscriptions have been telling others how useful they find it, and as a result their institutions are now subscribing on their behalf, which is good for us, and good for you too.
• A GrantSearch subscription allows you to browse your subject area and plan well ahead, and to receive FOCUS email alerts tailored to your interests. Since an annual subscription is the best way of demonstrating this, we've made it as affordable for you as possible.

What makes GrantSearch any different to SPIN or COS?

• If you're familiar with them you'll already know that 90% of their content comes from international, mainly US funding sources. When said to be 'open to Australian applicants', in most cases there are actually no citizenship requirements. This means anyone applying for them is in competition with the rest of the world, yet according to published figures, Australia does not rank among the top 50 countries receiving US grants.
• The other 10% specifically open to Australians is limited to those known to most Grants/Development Offices, and does not include the full range of research funding opportunities offered by local and state governments, the private sector, and community organisations.
• The structure of the GrantSearch database is the opposite: 90% is Australian content covering all sectors. The remaining 10% is composed of overseas funding sources which have been screened to ensure that either they are specifically meant for Australia(ns), or Australians are listed among past recipients.
• If you are seeking financial support for large, multi-stage projects requiring international collaboration, overseas databases are extremely useful. But if your main concern is to identify potential funding sources for research of local or national importance, offering better chances of success, these are more likely to be found using GrantSearch.
