# Grant writing resources

##### Training

UNM offers a number of research-related courses, many of them online. [Find a list of those here.](http://research.unm.edu/training-networking){target=_blank}

##### Find Funding

UNM's [Office of the Vice President for Research](http://research.unm.edu/){target=_blank} is a great starting point. UNM users can access [Pivot](http://frdo.unm.edu/funding_opportunities){target=_blank} to [search funding](http://research.unm.edu/find-funding){target=_blank}, which includes National Science Foundation and many other opportunities.

[Science Magazine](http://www.sciencemag.org/careers/where-search-funding){target=_blank} also has a list of funding resources.

##### Develop Proposal

Again, the OVPR offers [steps and tools](http://research.unm.edu/develop-proposal){target=_blank} to use in developing your proposal.

The tools available at the [Office for Sponsored Research](http://osp.unm.edu/index.html){target=_blank} website will help you develop budgets and contains lots of key information on rates and procedures.
