UCLA Health and David Geffen School of Medicine has created a non-NIH funding database as a tool for biomedical researchers. The health care system is actively compiling non-NIH funding sources and aggregating them into an easily accessible database. An extensive collection of over 1000+ funding opportunities is now available. A user may customize searches based on keyword, sponsor name, disease area, etc. While we encourage faculty to go after NIH funding, this database will allow users to quickly review other resources and/or partnerships available within their research scope. While there are several databases available nationally, none seem to target biomedical research specifically. Many institutions are reliant on email notifications, newsletters of upcoming deadlines and/or relationships based on past awards. This database makes the information available up to a year in advance. The database is easy to use and every entry has an external website link directly to the source information. We welcome feedback and solicit further entries from national and international sponsors. Please use the “contact us” feature to engage in feedback and/or to ask for content to be edited, erased or added.
