Pivot (formerly Community of Science):
Pivot is designed for faculty, staff researchers, and graduate students; it's intuitive and easily implemented. It was meant to quickly find the right funding opportunities and help researchers to effectively collaborate between them.
Pivot is a tool that:
• Provides access to source of funding opportunities globally
• Identifies researcher expertise from within or outside of your organization
• Enhances communication, monitoring, and tracking
• Allows the focus to be on winning the necessary awards and grants
• Enables you to add internal deadlines to funding opportunities and sends weekly updates on saved searches.
In order to develop internal expertise, the University of Ottawa has provided training to its faculty Research Development Officers who will be providing an efficient and specialized support to the researchers.
For any question or comment please contact your Research Development Officer.
For more information on how to use the Pivot system, we invite you to consult the online tutorials for researchers.
