  • Databases

    The funding opportunities databases offered by these services cover biomedicine and other sciences, behavioral and social sciences, education, arts and humanities, and other disciplines. They include opportunities from the Federal government, professional societies, associations, large foundations, and some corporations. Databases may be accessed from computers with a Duke IP address.

      Community of Science (COS) - Includes the COS Funding Opportunities database, COS Expertise, and other features.

      NOTE: Duke users who have registered through the COS Workbench and set up a profile in COS Expertise, a database which enables scientists and scholars to share their research interests, may use the Funding Alert feature to receive weekly e-mail updates from the Funding Opportunities database.
      IRIS (Illinois Researcher Information Service) - Includes the IRIS Database of funding opportunities and the IRIS Alert Service, which enables users to receive funding alerts automatically.

      Duke's Office of Research Support provides the Funding Search Tutor which gives additional information about using Community of Science and IRIS.
