Profiles

What is a Pivot-RP Profile?

UVic faculty, staff and students can have a Pivot-RP Profile.

Profiles have been created for all faculty members using the information listed on your school or department website. These details are only part of a researcher’s story, which is why we encourage you to claim and update your profile.

With your personal profile, you can:

  • Sign up to receive customized funding alerts
  • Save and return to previous funding searches
  • Track and get updates on individual funding opportunities
  • Share funding opportunities with others
  • Sync your profile with your ORCID account

Claiming your profile

Claiming and keeping your profile updated enables better funding opportunity matching, based on your research interests, publications, and grants. Your profile also allows you to be discovered by potential collaborators.

Using Pivot-RP

Learn how to search for funding opportunities, browse profiles and get started with Pivot-RP in the LibGuide.
