COS
COS is a leading global resource for information used to foster research. A search of this website will find nearly 400,000 funding opportunities worth over $33 billion across all disciplines. Customized funding alerts can be set-up to automatically e-mail you weekly with opportunities matching your research interest. On your personal COS Workbench, you can save hundreds of individual program announcements and be alerted with any updates to program requirements. You can even share your findings with friends and colleagues.
You can find experts, collaborators and peer reviewers from various disciplines across the globe using the profile database COS Expertise. There's also an opportunity to add your own professional profile to the database. What a great way to advertise your own research!
As a subscribing institution, Georgia State's membership gives faculty, staff and students access to these often hard to find resources.
