Dietrich School of Arts & Sciences Resources
The Kenneth P. Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences supports faculty members in the pursuit of individual research interests and collaborative projects. The diversity of our faculty’s scholarly interests and excellence is one of our school’s greatest strengths. In addition, as a major research University, we expect our faculty members to generate new knowledge and pursue external funding opportunities to advance that pursuit.
Using Pivot to Search for Funding Opportunities
The University of Pittsburgh subscribes to Pivot, a comprehensive database of funding opportunities. Pivot is accessible to the campus community through the Office of Sponsored Programs website and the ULS databases.
Many faculty and doctoral students will have profiles that have been created using content from their University web site. If you do not have a profile, please contact the Office of Sponsored Programs Grants Development initiative to arrange having a profile created.
A YouTube channel that presents describes the process of claiming a profile and executing a search for funding can be found here.
