The Sponsored Programs Information Network (SPIN)
SPIN is an up-to-date listing of national and international government and private funding sources. It is the number one database of its kind and used by over 700 institutions worldwide.

SMARTS/GENIUS
SMARTS/GENIUS is an electronic matching and funding opportunity notification system which provides investigators with a direct and targeted electronic link to comprehensive, current U.S. Federal, non-Federal and international research funding information. The investigator profile information is collected via forms on GENIUS, and used at InfoEd for matching with the SPIN (Sponsored Programs Information Network) database. These two data sources interact so that "matchmaking" is conducted on a daily basis. "Matched" programs are then automatically e-mailed to the individual researchers - EVERY DAY!

Duquesne faculty members are strongly encouraged to register as SMARTS users. The Office of Research offers this service free to faculty. To enter your profile CLICK HERE.

SPIN now includes links to four additional search engines including:
Medline, Agricola, US GeoSurvey and US Patent Search
