How to find grant opportunities for academic position? I am a senior Ph.D. student in software security in Germany. I am looking for some grants for my postdoc. I have a proposal ready, but I do not know good enough about the grant opportunities. So, I think that I need to submit my proposal to many places to increase the chance of obtaining a good grant? What do you think? Is any neat database for finding the grants?
Since you are in Europe, EURAXESS (which belongs to the European Commission) may be a suitable platform to you. National funders from the EU (and beyond) regularly list their calls there.
There may also be national databases of research grants (provided by official bodies). For instance, as regards Germany, the DAAD offers this Scholarship Database, while Austria offers a comprehensive and always up-to-date list at grants.at.
The analogy for the U.S. seems to be grants.gov.
