COS - Community of Science

COS Funding Opportunities is a comprehensive database of international and Australian funding opportunities relevant to all academic disciplines. It includes over 22,000 records for more than 400,000 funding opportunities (grants, fellowships and prizes) worth over $33 billion. COS Funding Opportunities is international in both content and audience, providing access to funding information from public agencies, national and local governments, and private sector sponsors around the world. A useful feature is the ability to set up a profile to generate a weekly funding alert via email.

COS Scholar Universe provides authoritative information about more than 1.3 million active researchers around the world, together with verified affiliation and publication information. It allows researchers to find experts, collaborators, peers, mentors, consultants - even competitors. Discover who's doing what - current research activity, funding received, publications, patents, new positions and more.
Researchers can edit their profile to showcase their research and expertise amongst researchers and scholars from around the world and use convenient tools to keep their CV updated and accessible.
