Trending Research Areas section added to Funding Institutional

Last updated on August 22, 2025

Funding Institutional offers predefined search queries to help you find funding opportunities and awarded grants related to specific research themes. The queries for the UN Sustainable Development Goals and Curated Research Areas were developed in collaboration with Elsevier's Data Science teams and the research community. The Institutional Research Areas section is set up by your institution's administrators, who define the search queries available to you. If you do not see Institutional Research Areas in the Trending Research Areas section, it means that your administrator has not set up any.

How It Works:

  • Select your Area of Interest: Navigate the UN Sustainable Development Goals, the Curated Research Areas or the Institutional Research Areas, that resonate with your research or institutional mission, directly from our homepage.
  • Instant Access to Results: Click on the link to Funding Opportunities or Awarded Grants below the selected Area to access the search pages with preloaded results.
  • Refine Results with Precision: On the Funding Opportunity or Awarded Grants Search Pages, you can also use the filters in the left-hand panel to narrow down your results by funder, geography, or other eligibility criteria.

Search Methodology for the UN Sustainable Development Goals and Curated Research Areas:

Below are some general rules and considerations that were considered when translating Scopus queries to Funding Institutional (FI). These considerations account for differences between the search engines of the two tools, as well as differences in the context of datasets (publication vs. funding data):

  • FI considers plurals; therefore, plural versions of keywords have been removed.
  • FI does not consider curly brackets {}; hence, they were replaced by double quotation marks "".
  • FI's stemming works differently from Scopus; hence, some keywords were not necessary to include.

In our commitment to transparency and empowering you with the ability to fine-tune search queries and provide feedback, you can access the exact keyword queries below.
