The Office of the Vice President for Research, Hardin Library for the Health Sciences, and Division of Sponsored Programs are offering informational sessions on the use of Pivot.

Pivot is a ProQuest product for which the UI has a site license, described as follows:

“Locating and securing research funding is becoming increasingly competitive, as funding opportunities are limited and the number of researchers vying for those dollars continues to grow. Pivot accelerates the research process by integrating funding, collaborator discovery, and publishing opportunities into one powerful tool. Pivot connects researchers to financial support by leveraging the most comprehensive global source of sponsored funding opportunities and provides scholarly profiles to match researchers with financial partners and collaborators.”

The informational sessions—applicable for research in the health sciences, humanities, and social sciences—are scheduled for:

  • March 26, 1:00-2:00 pm, 2523 UCC
  • April 22, 2:00-3:00 pm, Hardin Library for the Health Sciences
  • May 29, 10:00-11:00 am, 2523 UCC
