SPIN is the single solution for researchers and principal investigators who desire to spend less time doing the arduous and labor-intensive steps of searching, but still be presented with ideally-suited and perfectly-matched funding opportunities. It’s comprised of two powerful InfoEd Solutions: 

• SPIN, the world’s largest database of funding opportunities. SPIN monitors public and private sponsors to ensure that the most current funding opportunity information is always accessible and SPIN’s queries and filters functions allow users to easily find future opportunities.
• SPIN Matching And Research Transmittal Service (SMARTS). SMARTS delivers highly-targeted funding opportunities that exactly match pre-defined criteria and research focus.

After you log into SPIN, select Sign in using institutional credentials on the right side of the screen and select North Dakota State University 从下拉列表中. This will allow you to log in through the NDSU Central Authentication Service (CAS).

注意:第一次 you log into SPIN, you will need to click “create profile” in the pop-up window. 

After you're logged in, you'll be able to:

• Retain parameters set from the Category Filters Menu across multiple sessions.
• Retain search and detail view parameters set from the Options Menu.
• Save searches and SMARTS settings, and access them repeatedly from the Saved 搜索es Menu.
  NOTE: 搜索es shared by an administrator are accessible to anonymous users.
• Bookmark opportunities and share them after navigating away from the opportunity, by using the Bookmarks Menu. 

If you have any questions, please contact ndsu.researchdev@chinaqinyu.com.

1. 基本的搜索
This is the defaulted search mode and an easy way to search for programs using a simple word or term which is then run against the entire SPIN record – every field is searched (ex. 赞助商的名字, 机会标题, Funding Opportunity Number, CFDA数量, 剧情简介, 资格, 关键字, 等.).

2. InfoEd关键词搜索 Mode
The InfoEd关键词搜索 mode operates in a similar manner to the 基本的搜索 except you select from a proprietary list of keywords to perform your search instead of typing in arbitrary word(s) or term(s).

3. 高级搜索模式
This customized search method allows you to tailor your search using advanced AND/OR branching logic functions to narrow down your search to retrieve more specific results.

4. Saving 搜索 Parameters
After conducting a custom search, the parameters that were set up can be retained and used again at another time. As funding goals and approaches evolve, saved search parameters can be altered and re-run.

5. 快速搜索
These are pre-configured searches with commonly employed SPIN search options.

6. New/Modified Opportunities
Presents opportunities that have been entered/modified within the past seven days.

7. 即将到来的最后期限
Presents opportunities with deadlines within the next eight weeks or with open deadlines.

8. 联邦快递服务(美国)
Presents federally-sponsored opportunities which are often not listed on Grants.gov and which tend to have strict eligibility requirements. These same opportunities may also appear during other searches.

9. 联邦公报指南
The US 联邦公报指南 Quick 搜索 Option provides users with access to pared-down grants information that is published by the National Archives and Records Administration. 

10. Non-Traditional Sources
Listing of non-traditional research funding sources including "crowdfunding" opportunities.

11. InfoEd关键词搜索
Expand your searches by using the keyword index developed by SPIN.
