Community of Science Information
To locate funding sources and potential collaborators, Penn State recommends that its faculty members use the Community of Science, Inc. (also known as the Community of Scholars), a global registry of academic researchers. Researchers in all disciplines should submit an expert profile to the COS Expertise database and sign up for the COS Funding Alert service. Penn State's institutional subscription covers the use of the COS databases for all Penn State faculty, staff, and students.
