Resources for Researchers
InfoReady Review
The office of the associate dean for research subscribes to InfoReady Review, an online portal for managing internal competitions. Currently, we are using this platform for all internal grants programs with the possibility of expanding to other OADR business.
All of CVM can access the UMN CVM InfoReady Review Portal at https://umncvmresearch.infoready4.com/
All users should use their UMN x500 information for single sign-on access. For first-time users with no UMN x500, click Register in the top right corner of the portal to create an account. If you forget your password, you can click the Forgot Your Password? link under the Log In menu. Please do not register personal email addresses to this system.

Funding & Collaborations
Internal Funding Opportunities at the University of Minnesota.
Extramural Funding/Collaborations
- Are you looking for an opportunity to collaborate? Find a list of coordinated funding opportunities at the Office of the Vice President for Research (OVPR) website. This list features externally funded grant opportunities that require university coordination because the sponsor has limited the number of applications an institution is allowed to submit. Each posting has a link to sponsor specific information as well as detailed internal submission instructions.
- Find collaborators at the University by searching the Experts@Minnesota database of faculty and staff experts. How to search the site and edit your profile.
