Researchers are under more pressure than ever before to secure the money they need to do their work. The funding exists: the predicted worldwide spend on research in 2016 was $1.9 trillion. This was an increase of 3.4% on the previous year.
But with so many grants available in such a myriad of subjects via such a large variety of institutions, how can a researcher match their aspirations to the right opportunity?
We’re pleased to announce the launch of Mendeley Funding.
Mendeley Funding is a new tool which catalogues funding opportunities from across the globe. It includes calls for proposals from prominent organisations including the European Union, government departments in the United States like the National Institutes of Health, UK Research councils, and many more.
By using Mendeley Funding, Researchers can:
- Search for relevant funding
- Save interesting opportunities
- Access detailed information about funders
For more information, visit http://www.mendeley.com/funding. Then sign in to Mendeley, access the tool by using the link marked “Funding” in the toolbar, and get searching. A world of opportunities awaits you.

At the moment this seems like just another place to manually search for funding opportunities.
Can I assume this will evolve to automatically surface relevant funding opportunities to me based on the contents of my Mendeley library? That would be very appealing.
