Before you can begin using Pivot, you must create an account. The process is quick and easy. .
Pivot includes profiles for over 3 million full-time faculty members that have been pre-populated based on publicly available information. After signing up for an account, you can claim your profile by clicking on your name in the top right-hand corner of the page and choosing "claim profile." If you do not already have a profile available, you may create a new one. Pivot will automatically generate funding opportunities based on your profile. Note that claiming your profile is not required in order to use Pivot, however there are benefits to claiming your profile; for example, profiles allow you to share funding opportunities with colleagues.
