Researchers and scholars use COS (also known as “Community of Science”) to access information on grants, fellowships, and awards from national and international funding organizations, including profit, nonprofit, private, and governmental groups. COS is the premier resource for funding information, with listings of grants worth more than $33 billion.
The services offered by COS and available to UT Southwestern users include:

• Search COS Funding Opportunities. (Note: You can save these searches.)
• Create and automatically receive weekly funding alerts.
• Use the COS Workbench to manage your COS activities.
• Create and store your curriculum vitae (CV) so grant makers may contact you.

Recent enhancements allow you to:

• Track a funding opportunity on your COS Workbench.
• Save Funding Opportunities searches as alert searches.
• Re-format your CV as needed to submit with individual grant applications.
• Select the searches for which you may receive weekly emails.

Read more about these features at the COS Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page. You can access COS as well as three different COS tutorials on the Library Web site by entering “COS” in the “Search” box.
