Web-based customized information dissemination services offer searches and/or notification of funding opportunities, as well as ways to promote one's own research. Oregon State University maintains subscriptions in the following two services, for access by all faculty.
IRIS is a customized information dissemination service available by subscription only. The Research Office, The OSU Foundation, and the Valley Library maintain a subscription for Oregon State University. It can be accessed from any Internet address inside the OSU domain - from computers on campus, but not from elsewhere.
This allows a search for funding opportunities in the sciences, social sciences, arts, and humanities. The database currently contains over 8,000 active federal and private funding opportunities. You can search by sponsor, deadline date, keyword, and other criteria. Most IRIS records contain live links to sponsor Web sites, electronic forms, or Electronic Research Administration (ERA) portals.
You can also access the Online Periodical Service Database of selected items from the Commerce Business Daily/FedBizOpps and Federal Register.
The IRIS Database is updated daily.
Use this to receive funding alerts automatically.
You create your own IRIS search profile and can modify it at any time. The program runs your profile against the IRIS database You can select how often you would like your alert profile run - daily, weekly, or monthly. You have two choices for delivery method: by e-mail directly to you; or posted to a customized web page that will be set up at the University of Illinois.
The IRIS site includes a "Short Course" and "Tips," to learn the system.
If you have problems using IRIS, the site also offers a "Help File," as well as information on how to contact support people: phone number (217) 333-0284, Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (Central Standard Time); and e-mail rso@uiuc.edu.
Note: The OSU Research Office does not currently provide technical support for the use of IRIS. Please contact IRIS directly with questions about its use.
COS offers scientists web access to promote their work, find funding, access experts, consult, and collaborate with colleagues.
Because OSU maintains a subscription; COS can be accessed from any Internet address inside the OSU domain.
Updated daily, this contains more than 23,000 records, representing over 400,000 funding opportunities, worth over $33 billion.
This is a weekly e-mail notification service with a customized list of funding opportunities based on specified criteria provided by the individual COS member.
This enables members to research and track information on funding and award histories at research facilities around the world.
This knowledge management service contains more than 480,000 first-person profiles of researchers from over 1,600 institutions worldwide. Creating your own profile gives you a vehicle to promote your experience and your research.
