Funding Resources
Finding funding opportunities to do research abroad is often more difficult than researchers initially think. Federal reporting standards are often difficult to adhere to for some overseas collaborators, and most grants are very limited in the areas that they fund. Explore some of the most popular and general funding resources available from USF and external organizations for international research here.
Proposal Development Services
USF Research and Innovation is dedicated to facilitating the growth of large multidisciplinary proposals, identifying funding opportunities, and building teams. The Faculty One-Stop provides USF researchers with quick links to guides and instructions, tools and forms, online training and more, for each phase of the research administration life cycle.
USF Office of Export Controls
The Office of Export Controls at USF was established to help faculty, researchers, and staff navigate the complex environment of export regulations. USF is committed to the highest level of compliance with U.S. export control regulations.
