COS
COS is an invaluable research tool for all disciplines.
Its resources include opportunities for public and private funding in
every academic field of study. Currently, COS claims that it has over
23,000+ records in its COS Funding Opportunities database, representing
over 400,000 funding opportunities, worth over $33 billion.
The new
COS Funding Opportunities home page has been redesigned to significantly
improve its functionality.
COS users can now do a Simple Search directly from the Funding Opportunities
home page. By reducing visual clutter and eliminating the number of
layers of screens required to access the search page, COS has made its
product much more user-friendly.
COS offers tutorials, FAQs,
instructions, and help screens available at its website to guide
you through its various features.
In addition, COS has a “Help
Desk” feature that will allow you to ask COS search specialists
to assist you.
