Funding Information Databases and Resources

SPIN - Sponsored Program Information Network

SPIN is a searchable, web database for staff and students, accessible from all Monash campuses and externally through the Monash web server.

The system allows Monash academic and support staff to set up research profiles using keywords and other criteria. When a funding scheme is updated on the system, the keywords for that scheme are checked against the researcher profile and if there is a match, then the researcher is automatically sent an email notifying him/her of the opportunity.

The above link takes you to further information and instructions on accessing and setting your profile in this database.

COS - Community of Science
