GradPortal Tutorial for Locating the Principal Investigators of Large Undergraduate Grants for Minority Students

The purpose of this tutorial is to show you how to find large grants that have been awarded by federal agencies to enhance the research and scholarly training of undergraduate students and which emphasize underrepresented minorities.

Once a grant has been identified and the PI determined, the tutorial gives some hints on how to approach the PI to enlist her/his help in identifying promising students for your research program.

The tutorial leads you through this process for the National Science Foundation. A similar technique can be used for many other federal agencies.
