Pivot Database

With Pivot you can:
  • Receive possible funding opportunity matches, with minimal effort on your part, because Pivot searches for you automatically based on the information contained in your personal Pivot Profile.
  • Conduct targeted searches on special topics/projects by building your own custom searches. You can search by discipline, investigator type, by country and sign up for funding alerts.
  • Receive emails weekly as new funding opportunities matching your profile or saved targeted searches emerge.

Pivot is a subscription-based funding search service available to Wellesley College faculty and staff.
