Information on grant funding opportunities is readily available on line, both from individual agencies and from databases that contain thousands of funding opportunities in a wide range of disciplines. The following databases have been made available to DePaul faculty and staff through subscriptions paid by the university. (If you have difficulty accessing them from a computer within DePaul's domain, please contact OSPR.) We recommend that, before beginning work on a grant proposal, you consult the Checklist for Evaluating Grant Opportunities and talk with one of OSPR's pre-award staff. IRIS The Illinois Researcher Information Service (IRIS) is a unit of the University of Illinois Library at Urbana-Champaign. IRIS offers three web-based funding and research services: the IRIS Database, the IRIS Alert Service, and the IRIS Expertise Service. The IRIS Database currently contains over 8,000 active funding opportunities in the sciences, social sciences, arts, and humanities. Users can search IRIS by sponsor, deadline date, keyword, and other criteria; or they can scroll through an alphabetical list of funding agencies by clicking the "view upcoming deadlines" option. Most IRIS records contain live links to sponsor web sites, electronic forms, or Electronic Research Administration (ERA) portals. The IRIS Database is updated daily. COS Community of Science, Inc. (COS) is the leading internet site for the global R&D community. COS brings together the world's most prominent scientists and researchers at more than 1,300 universities, corporations, and government agencies worldwide. DePaul has initially subscribed to the COS Funding Opportunities database. COS Funding Opportunities is updated daily and contains more than 23,000 records, representing over 400,000 funding opportunities worth over $33 billion. |
