UNCP has established a partnership with Hanover Research Solutions (HR)*, and as part of this partnership UNCP faculty can have access to the webinars and newsletters developed by HR to help Grant seekers navigate the funding landscape. UNCP faculty can review recent grants opportunities under Grant Alerts, or sign up to receive funding calendars and webinar invitations through Hanover Insights.
