Introducing PIVOT: a faculty expertise and funding tool

Please join us for informational sessions

A comprehensive, accurate, time-efficient database is needed for faculty to share and identify collaborators. UVM has recently subscribed to PIVOT which brings together the funding database COS and a Scholar Expertise database populated with over 3 million scholar profiles from around the world including UVM faculty. 

Sponsored Project Administration is offering a brief information session targeting faculty to focus on PIVOT’S collaboration tool. A brief overview of PIVOT will be given and participants will learn how to navigate the Scholar profile section, update their own Profile information, and search for potential collaborators at UVM and beyond.
