Exciting changes!
In the past we have been using the IRIS Grant database to
search for various grants to apply for. We have now switched
to GrantSelect which has proven to be more user friendly,
updated daily and still offers many of the same tools that
IRIS has. GrantSelect offers more than 10,000 funding opportunities
and the largest collection of sponsored research opportunities.
To begin searching for grants on GrantSelect
- click
here.
The user friendly database, GrantSelect, is now listed on
the Library's web site. Faculty, staff and students are
able to access and search for grant information throughout
the site both on and off campus. To access GrantSelect click
on Links to all Databases under the Find Articles heading
and scroll down to GrantSelect
To access GrantSelect off campus you need
to have a valid library log-in. If you don't have a library
log-in, the process to obtain one is very easy. Visit the
Library's webpage and click Acquisitions
Forms under the Quick Links section. Fill out the Patron
Application Form and turn it into the library. If you have
any further questions regarding this process, please contact
the Reference Desk at libref@ben.edu
or (630) 829-6057.
