UBC Library is currently trialling two new databases from CSA, COS Funding Opportunities and Community of Scholars.
COS Funding Opportunities is a compiled database of available opportunities for grants, fellowships, prizes and other type of funding for any discipline, worldwide. Opportunities come from the public and private sector, including governments, foundations and societies, and corporations. Each record is researched, verified, and indexed to ensure accuracy, timeliness and quality of data. Each record includes information on deadlines, amount of award, any eligibility criteria, and contact information for more information from the sponsoring organization.
Community of Scholars provides authoritative information about more than 1 million scholars and organizations around the world, including verified affiliation and publication information. This database is a unique tool for finding researchers by specific area of study. Linguists, check your entries – if you want to make changes or additions, there’s a handy form in the database that allows you to do so.
The trials are until November 30; please send any feedback to Doug Brigham, eResources Librarian.
