The COS platform (www.cos.com) will be shut down at the end of June. All of our COS Funding Opportunities subscribers will be transitioned over to our newly launched next generation interface: Pivot (http://pivot.cos.com)

What is Pivot?

Pivot gives Research Administrators, Research Development Professionals, and their institutions the edge to bring together the right research opportunities, funding, and people quickly and easily. It provides global and local connections that strengthen research by exploring new avenues for funding and collaboration for faculty, staff researchers, and graduate students.

Pivot can help you:

• Find funding using the advanced search and the funding advisor to hone in on the funding opportunities that are right for you.
• Share funding and check on funding you receive from others.
• Stay on top of your most important funding opps in the Active section while keeping an eye on funding opps that are not as urgent in your Tracked section.
• Receive weekly email alerts on new and updated funding opps for your saved searches
