Guide to the U-M Library for New Graduate Students

You know that you need to find funding for research projects, but how do you start?  It can seem overwhelming!

• First, begin looking sooner rather than later for resources to support your research while you're at Michigan.  

• Next, think about what makes your research unique.  That way, you can target funding sources that support your area of interest.

Funding is available from a wide variety of organizations, including the UM; other universities (if you need to travel to use their archives or special collections, for example); and governmental or private organizations.

Working with your academic department and the resources on this page are good places to start.
