With the generous financial support of the Long Beach City College Foundation, the Office of Grants was able to purchase a web-based subscription package to help faculty and staff locate potential funders for projects that require external funding.

The database of funding opportunities, called SPIN, is available at the InfoEd web page at http://www.infoed.org.

1.) The user name and password are the same: lbcity.
2.) Click on "Access Info Office" in upper right-hand corner of screen.
3.) Click on "SPIN" icon.

In addition, you can create a GENIUS profile that allows SPIN to automatically match the needs identified in your profile with grant announcements in the SPIN database. SPIN then sends you an e-mail message alerting you of the grant opportunity.

The Office of Grants staff occassionally schedule SPIN training during faculty FLEX day training and will also do one-on-one training. If you are interested in individual training, please contact Jacquie Wilvers at (562) 938-4756 or jwilvers@lbcc.edu.
