Searching for Grant Funding? Try the Community of Science
In the fall of 1996, UAB joined a growing consortium of research universities
that have access to an exciting array of databases developed by the Community
of Science (COS). Check out the COS web page at http://cos.gdb.org,
or use the link from the Lister Hill Library home page. There you will
find full information about the services offered to all those in the uab.edu
domain. COS strives to help researchers locate information and funding
for research projects
A few highlights:
Expertise, Inventions, and Facilities - built in collaboration
with member institutions, over 50,000 records
U. S. Patent Citation Database 1975-
Federally-Funded Research in the U.S. - collection of five funded
grants databases, including NIH, NSF, USDA, SBIR, and Advanced Technology
Program.
Commerce Business Daily - updated daily, U. S. government procurement
and contract awards of over $25,000
The Federal Register - updated daily, U. S. regulatory changes
and announcements
Funding Opportunities Database - research grant information,
over 6,000 records
Faculty Expertise Database - UAB Faculty may add and later update
their own biographical and research information
The Library will be offering regularly scheduled COS workshops in our
new Electronic Classroom. To see the latest class
