Search for Funding

A number of external databases exist that provide information on funding opportunities, some of which are listed below.

• Commerce Business Daily

• Community of Science
  UC Davis Office of Research maintains a subscription to the Community of Science (COS). COS maintains a database of grants, fellowships, and other funding information from public and private, domestic and international sources. COS is also a leading Web site for scientists and scholars to find funding, to promote their research and collaborate with peers worldwide. Though the name refers to holdings on science funding, this service also offers a wealth of information on social sciences, humanities & community outreach funding. Each week, COS Humanities Funding News and COS Health Science Funding News provide a sampling of available funding in those disciplines.
  
  COS enables scientists and scholars to communicate across a Web network of shared research, funding information and comprehensive science and technology data, facilitating "virtual communities" whereby scholars and scientist convene and collaborate via the Web. The Office of Research encourages all UC Davis affiliates to create their own COS expertise profile (utilize your ucdavis.edu affiliate email address). While COS is a tool used primarily by its members for advancing their research, individuals from .edu or equivalent Internet domains have free access to COS Expertise, the worldwide network of researcher profiles.
