External Funding Opportunities
Georgia Southern’s Office of Research Services and Sponsored Programs offers several funding databases for faculty seeking funding opportunities and grant programs. Please contact your Grant Coordinator if you should need any assistance with these services.
COS Funding Opportunities
COS provides the most comprehensive source of funding information available on the Web, with more than 25,000 records, representing over 400,000 funding opportunities, worth over $33 billion. Sponsors include private foundations, public agencies, national and local governments, corporations and more. Monies are available for work in all disciplines physical sciences, social sciences, life sciences, health & medicine, arts & humanities. Funding is available for many purposes, such as research, collaborations, travel, curriculum development, conferences, fellowships, postdoctoral positions, equipment acquisitions, capital or operating expenses. Off-campus access to COS is available through the Henderson Library’s Galileo Portal.
The Grants Resource Center serves as a liaison to federal funding agencies, provides monthly electronic announcements of forthcoming deadlines and grant opportunities, and provides personal assistance in identifying funding sources or obtaining information from federal agencies. Faculty and staff have access to GRC’s website, which contains electronic versions of GRC Deadlines and GRC Reports, the GRC Bulletin, Federal Register announcements, federal agency and private foundation links, and a searchable grant database (GrantSearch). GrantSearch is accessible only through the use of a unique username and password. To access the funding database and other GRC information, please enter your MyGeorgiaSouthern login credentials.
Grants.gov is your source to FIND and APPLY for federal grants. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is proud to be the managing partner for Grants.gov, an initiative that is having an unparalleled impact on the grant community. Investigators can search the Grants.gov database to find federal opportunities, and also sign up for e-mail notifications. Comprehensive search mechanisms are also available.
Visit the ORSSP website for detailed information regarding these external funding databases.
