Find Funding Opportunities
Targeted Funding Opportunity Search
Are you are looking for funding opportunities to fit your specific research projects?
We can provide a targeted list of funding opportunities that fit the specific needs of individual investigators, working groups, or research programs.
Our team utilizes a combination of curated funding opportunity data, along with historical publication, award, career specific data reporting, and refined keyword search to generate a list of eligible opportunities that fit your research needs.
Targeted searches can be adjusted to outline specific sponsors, project requirements, disease sites, career stages, or a combination thereof, along with any variation of internal, limited, peer reviewed, federal, and non-peer reviewed funding sources.
Extramural Funding Opportunities
We make every effort to capture all cancer relevant extramural funding opportunities that are eligible to UFHCI members. These opportunities are compiled into an interactive funding opportunity database, featuring an easy-to-use keyword search option, allowing you to quickly identify relevant funding opportunities by disease site, specialty, methods & science, sponsor, NIH activity code, and career development or training elements.
Limited, Internal, and Pilot Funding Opportunities
Our team manages distribution and coordination of limited, internal, and pilot funding opportunities and competitions for the UFHCI. Current opportunities can be found in the UFHCI funding opportunity database linked below.
* New funding opportunities, news, and important funding updates are also distributed through our weekly “Opportunity” newsletter.
Proposal Support
Pre-Proposal Consultation
Schedule a consultation with our team and we will help you map out your timeline, identify key milestones, and provide guidance on special compliance requirements or forms required by the funding agency.
Content Development Support
If you need help editing your Specific Aims, or Research Strategy, we can help with that. We prepare administrative documents like Biosketches (Commons Forms) and Facilities & Resources sections.
Letters of Support (LOS): All LOS requests for the UFHCI are routed through the Research Development support request form. If you need an LOS for an upcoming submission, use the link below to submit a brief request to our team.
Proposal Review & Quality Assurance
Our team is skilled in proposal review and development. We will review your proposal to identify formatting issues and interpret reviewer comments for re-submission. We will also conduct a final review before your proposal goes to institutional submission.
Mock Peer Review: Our team will coordinate a panel of carefully selected internal subject matter experts to review your proposal and provide you with constructive feedback. Following the review, we will facilitate a consultation for you to discuss feedback with reviewers, ask questions, and refine your submission before it reaches the sponsor.
Publications, Presentations and Posters

From manuscripts to narratives for your next big submission, our team can provide a thorough review, addressing the overall look and feel of your project by addressing formatting inconsistencies, layout, color coordination for figures and graphs, as well as compliance with sponsor, host, or journal guidelines.
Branding Guidance
Did you know that UF brand guidelines, UF Health brand guidelines, and UFHCI brand guidelines may vary in relation to allowable color scheme, logos, and presentation templates for specific types of projects?
Staying current on latest guidelines can be a challenge. Let us help you with that. Our team can carefully review your projects, and presentations to ensure compliance with appropriate branding for your specific project.
Graphic Design
This new service offered by our team has had a very high success rate, having created graphical abstracts and components that are published in multiple high impact Cell Press, Cancer Control, and Nature journals.
This service includes creating new digital components, editing and enhancing your current components, and edits for compliance with sponsor or journal formatting and scaling requirements.
We will be happy to schedule a consultation to discuss the illustrative needs for your project.
