Harness the power of SPINPlus – the funding search database available to all UMD faculty, staff and students, free of charge.  The system provides a modern full-text search which is run against the company’s proprietary database. 

Highlights include:

·        Public (government – Federal and State) and private (foundations) funding opportunities

·        Results are returned to the user in relevancy ranked format, and can be further sorted, grouped, or filtered

·        Searches/funding profiles can be saved for future use

·        Search results can be set up to send daily or weekly notification alerts

·        Basic training video tutorials are available on the site

This webinar will cover basic login, searches, and notifications from the system. There is a limit of 25 individual log-ins to the webinar on each date, therefore RSVPs to  https://vprwebtool.wufoo.com/forms/spin-webinars-fall-2018/ will be taken on a first-come, first-served basis.

Don’t wait for the webinar!  Login today and try out your own searches.  See the SPINInstruction Manual and the quick start guide to get started.
