RefWorks-COS Enhances Its COS Funding Opportunities Service
Building primarily on suggestions from users, RefWorks-COS has introduced more than 20 modifications to its COS Funding Opportunities data service. It has improved and clarified the advanced search features, enhanced sorting and viewing of results, and provided unlimited search saving and sharing."Increased competition in the research funding market and growing emphasis on global research and collaboration, combined with fewer human resources at research organizations means that COS Funding Opportunities needs to be even more efficient and effective for our customers," says Colleen Stempien, RefWorks-COS' executive director of operations. The changes were made to the version of COS Funding Opportunities that is available on its native platform (www.cos.com). This version is used primarily by research administrators, research managers, and faculty and staff of research organizations, such as university research departments. Launched in 1997, COS Funding Opportunities today has more than 26,000 records of available grants from more than 11,500 sponsors for researchers the world over. With nearly 500 subscribing organizations in 89 countries, it covers 80% of the world's leading research institutions. Source: RefWorks-COS
