Community of Science (COS)
Community of Science (COS) Funding Opportunities Database is an international database that covers a broad spectrum of opportunities and may be used in a variety of ways. Don't be fooled by the name—COS is one of the most useful funding locator tools. It offers a current and comprehensive, searchable collection of funding opportunities for scholars in all disciplines from the sciences to the arts and humanities.
Through KU's institutional membership to COS, the Funding Opportunities Database and other COS services are available from any on-campus computer and on personal computers, at home for those who use KU's dial-in connections. Alternately, individuals affiliated with KU can “Join” COS (free of charge) and access their personalized “Workbench” from any location by simply using their personal log-in. KU faculty and graduate students can click on the “Join” link from the COS homepage , and enter the appropriate information to register their profile with COS. Once the profile is entered the requested registration is forwarded to the University's COS liaison for verification of KU affiliation. Once the profile is approved, new members can personalize their own COS “Workbench,” which will allow one-stop access to all COS services.
A further valuable service is Opportunities Alert, which can be helpful in keeping updated on current funding opportunities. To use the Funding Alert service, KU faculty members and graduate students must first “Join” COS. Once registered with COS members use their personalized “Workbench” to can enter information on their funding needs (disciplines, types of funding, etc.) and the COS system will automatically send them a weekly Funding Alert via e-mail.
