What is the SMARTS Module?

SMARTS as an electronic matching and funding opportunity notification system, provides investigators with a direct and targeted electronic link to comprehensive, current, and available research funding information - both nationally and internationally. The investigator profile information is collected via forms in GENIUS and used for matching with the SPIN database. Matching is conducted on a daily basis and programs are automatically emailed to individual researchers.

How to Find Funding:
Upon entering the Portal, and selecting Find Funding, the user may select to access either SPIN or SMARTS.

Instructions on the use of SPIN are detailed in the software Help file. The above instructions focus on the setup and use of SMARTS matching. Because Missouri State university subscribes to SMARTS, you will be able to access the SMARTS portion of Find Funding. Contact OSRP (SponsoredResearch@missouristate.edu or 417-836-5972) for further details on using either SPIN or SMARTS. (see image below).
