Q: I’ve come from another university. How do I transfer a grant awarded to me?
A: Since grants are awarded to institutions, not individuals, your former institution must relinquish rights by contacting the sponsor. OSP will work with both the former institution and the sponsor to ensure a smooth transfer.

Q: How can I find grant opportunities?
A: Rowan has access to two funding databases:
InfoEd International and the Foundation Directory
Online. Contact an OSP/UA representative for instructions on signing up and accessing these sites.
You can also check grants.gov for federal opportunities and http://www.nj.gov/nj/gov/njgov/grants.html
for NJ funding opportunities.
