The Office of Academic Grants subscribes to InfoEd Global’s Sponsored Programs Information Network (SPIN), which allows registered users to search for funding sources and receive targeted email funding alerts in their areas of interest. It also provides users with access to SMARTS (SPIN Matching and Research Transmittal Service), which is a multi-institutional profile database through which users can connect with other researchers and colleagues. Registered users can gain access to targeted email alerts on funding opportunities, access to the InfoEd database to search for funding opportunities, and add their professional profiles to the database for collaborative purposes. To register on SPIN or for assistance in setting up an account, please contact the Academic Grants Office at x3670. Registered Marist users, can log on here: InfoEd home page
