The Community of Science
Just a quick Katrina-related note.
For those of you from educational or research institutions or from non-profit organizations affected by Katrina, the Community of Science is offering a free subscription to those who don’t have it, and a free extension to those who do.
Community of Science is an online database of grant-making institutions and funding opportunities. Their website puts it best:
The COS Funding Opportunities database contains more than 22,000 records worth more than $33 billion offered by over 6,500 government, private, and public sponsors from all over the world offer. It contains opportunities for many types of funding, including grants for Facility Construction or Operation, Travel, Visiting Personnel, Research and much more.
While the organization is the “Community of Science,” their funding catalog covers a broad range of topics from the sciences, the arts and humanities, and more.
If you are associated with an organization hit by Katrina or know somebody who is, you can find more details at www.cos.com/katrina
