Strategic Funding Intelligence | Research

WE ARE NOT CURRENTLY ACCEPTING STRATEGIC FUNDING INTELLIGENCE SERVICE REQUESTS. We will re-open the service on Dec. 4th, 2025.

Strategic funding intelligence is comprised of information regarding current and forecasted academic funding opportunities. This information is pulled from various sources to ensure it is as comprehensive as possible. The research development office (RDO) monitors these sources of information in order to offer faculty a competitive edge in applying for funding. We subsequently use that information to provide the services listed below. For questions regarding strategic funding intelligence and the RDO’s intelligence services, please contact Dr. Kathryn Parsley (parsley@wustl.edu).
