Grant Resource Center at the American Association of State Colleges and Universities (GRC)

GRC provides access to a complete suite of tools, services, and expertise to improve an office’s efficiency and increase an institution’s success in securing competitive grants from federal and private sponsors. Â鶹´«Ã½'s GRC membership provides access to GRC's sponsor database, publications, and social media platforms. The GRC website also houses sample research administration policies and a library of funded proposals.

GRC’s search engine includes approximately 1,500 private and federal funding opportunities screened for higher education eligibility.
