Community of Science (COS) is a web-based service that provides assistance to NDSU employees and students seeking grant opportunities and / or faculty expertise. COS is not just for the "sciences", but for ALL disciplines. It is also not just for "researchers", but for all types of scholarly activities.
COS is made available to NDSU by the North Dakota State Board of Higher Education, which funds the subscription for all 11 colleges and universities in the North Dakota University System.
COS is available at any NDSU desktop. It is also available to members off-campus by use of a username and password (which must be set up from an NDSU desktop initially).

Funding Alerts and Other Important Information For NDSU Faculty:
All NDSU faculty are strongly encouraged to create and maintain their own COS Expertise Profile. NDSU faculty who are not registered in COS should go to www.cos.com and click on JOIN in the menu at top. Once registered, you are assigned a username and password and will have access to your personal "COS Workbench", which will help you maintain your profile and other COS services.
Funding Alerts is a service that may be of particular interest to faculty. Funding Alerts are weekly email messages that have matched your COS profile with upcoming grants and funding opportunities in your field. You can choose the criteria for your Funding Alerts from your COS Workbench, accessible by logging into COS with your username and password.
NDSU employees and students who have questions about using COS should contact Kay Sizer, 701.231.7035, or kay.sizer@ndsu.edu
