Scarlet and Grants

Looking for Funding? Explore Scarlet & Grants for Private Foundation & Corporate Support

While federal grants often anchor core research funding, private foundations and corporations provide critical support for innovative projects, community outreach, interdisciplinary work, early-stage ideas, and high-risk basic, clinical and translational research. Scarlet & Grants, a searchable database of over 900+ private funding opportunities curated for Ohio State researchers, can help you identify funding opportunities across these areas and more.

Managed by Corporate and Foundation Engagement (CFE), in ERIK/Advancement, Scarlet & Grants helps connect Buckeye researchers across all academic units with private funding opportunities. Heading into its third year, this expanding platform broadens access to private funders through a centralized, easy-to-navigate database tailored to Ohio State’s research community.

Unlike third-party grant databases, this platform is built by Buckeyes, for Buckeyes — allowing users to spend less time searching and more time advancing transformational research.
