Community of Science

Community of Science Inc. is the leading Internet site for the global R&D community.  COS brings together the world's most prominent scientists and researchers at universities, corporations and government agencies worldwide. 

COS provides tools and services that enable these professionals to communicate, exchange information and find the people and technologies that are important to their work. 

COS allows researchers to individually manage their profile and to receive customised funding alerts.

Better Together: COS Funding Alert & Record Track

COS Funding Alert and Record Track are each useful tools, but they really become powerful when you use them together to make very quick work of finding and managing the right funding opportunities for you.

After creating and refining a funding search in COS Funding Opportunities, save the search and mark it to deliver weekly alert emails. Then when the weekly alert arrives, quickly review the email, identifying those that seem interesting. Just open each record and at the top, click "Track this Record" to save it to your COS Workbench, then continue.

After you have sorted through your Funding Alert in this manner, you can log into your COS Workbench when convenient and review your short list to decide which opportunities to pursue.

Benefits of COS to researchers include: 

  • Easy-to-use online update tools and a pre-populated profile with regular reminders to update.
  • Joining a global network used by nearly 2000 university, media, research sponsor, and corporate organizations to identify potential collaborators.
  • Personal Web workspace and service access available from any Internet connection at home or abroad.
  • Tool to generate customised CVs instantly from profiles.
  • Unique profile URL to distribute (e.g. in e-mail signature).
  • Receiving COS Funding Alerts.
  • Keeping up to date with meetings and conferences, other research in their fields, and latest research news
