Dear Faculty & Staff,

We are excited to launch KU’s Hub for Funding & Award Opportunities, an online platform that will streamline how you discover and apply for internal funding, honorific awards, and limited submission opportunities offered by the Office of Research.

Starting Nov. 1, most internal competitions managed by the Office of Research will be hosted in the Opportunities Hub, which is powered by InfoReady and already adopted on the KU Medical Center campus. Other offices on KU's Lawrence and Edwards campuses may adopt InfoReady in the future.

What is InfoReady?
InfoReady is a user-friendly portal that allows you to:

Browse current internal funding and award opportunities.
Submit applications and supporting materials online.
Track the status of your submissions in real time.
Receive notifications about upcoming deadlines and new opportunities.

Why this matters
This platform replaces manual processes and email submissions, making it easier for you to:

Stay informed about relevant opportunities.
Submit materials efficiently.
Participate in a transparent and organized review process.

Get started
We encourage you to visit KU’s Hub for Funding & Award Opportunities, bookmark the site and check back regularly for new opportunities. No need to create a new account; simply select “Log In” in the upper-right corner and access the site with your KU single sign-on credentials.

If you have questions or need InfoReady system support, please contact myResearchSupport@kumc.edu. Questions related to specific opportunities should be directed to the point of contact listed in each announcement.

Thank you for your continued commitment to research, scholarship and creative activity at the University of Kansas.

Regards,
KU Office of Research
