RFDS
Grant Funding
Proposal Development
Research Communications
RFDS began with two goals: (1) help researchers find funding opportunities, (2) help those researchers develop the best possible proposals for those grant opportunities. Over time, we’ve also become the lead on Research Communications at OHSU, which means we help disseminate important information about research both internally (faculty, postdocs, etc.), and externally (other institutions, general public).

39. Grant Funding Funding Database Weekly Funding Alerts
Limited Submission Program
Presidential Bridge Funding
Internal funding opportunities
Visit the funding portal on our website!
RFDS is here to help you find money for your research. We maintain a database of private funding opportunities (from foundations, professional society’s, etc.) all over the world. We also send out a weekly that includes plenty of NIH and other government funding opportunities. If you’re new to grant writing, or are looking for something specific, RFDS is a great place to start. Our department also coordinates the Limited Submission process at OHSU, and manages the Presidential Bridge Funding program. Visit the Funding Portal on our website to get started.

Specific Aims Workshop
NIH Format Change Workshop
Funding Focus and other forums
Sample topics: Grant Writing 101, Foundation Funding, NIH Public Access Policy, and more!
Vollum Writing Class
RFDS offers help on a wide range of topics. From how to write your first grant, to how to handle the latest NIH policy change, contact RFDS and we’ll do our best to help you. If we don’t know the answer, we’ll point you in the direction of someone who can.
RFDS also sponsors a monthly brown bag seminar series that addresses topics important to OHSU researchers.
Plus, the Director of RFDS, Rachel Dresbeck, teaches a science writing course four times a year, to help investigators improve their writing skills.

41. Research Communications
If you’re a researcher at OHSU, visit the Research News blog, bookmark it, and check back often. RFDS tries to limit the number of s you receive in your inbox each day, but you can easily set up an RSS feed of the blog. We post information about funding opportunities, upcoming events, and changes in NIH policy.
In the event something important does happen, we may also send out a targeted to certain groups at OHSU.
