SPIN.Plus is composed of three modules which include SPIN, GENIUS, and SMARTS.
SPIN is an up-to-date listing of national and international government and private funding sources. It is the number one database of its kind and used by over 800 institutions worldwide. This section is available to USC accounts only (on-campus or PPP). Click on the $ to start a search.
GENIUS is a searchable expertise profile system that currently contains faculty CV's and will be expanded in the near future to contain facilities and institutional profiles. As a service to R&D cooperation and regional/national development, this database is open to all users.
SMARTS matches the profiles with the funding opportunities and delivers automatic daily updates. This service ensures that investigators are kept current on new funding opportunities, new and approaching deadlines, and sponsor updates and that administrators are kept apprised of who is getting what "hits."
