Community of Science (COS) offers a full range of internet-based services for the world's researchers; it brings together more than 1,600 universities, corporations and government agencies worldwide. COS provides services that enable these professionals to find the funding, people and information that are important to their work. Jefferson has reinstituted its subscription to COS Funding Alerts for weekly email announcements of funding opportunities based on the COS database of over 15,000 federal, state, corporate, foundation, and international sources.

All identified Jefferson researchers and faculty were sent an email in May 2006 with username and password information to access COS services. If you have not received such an email and you are a current Jefferson faculty, staff or student member, you can register yourself for an account. (more info on account registration)
