The workshops will focus on two library databases, Foundation Directory Online and COS Funding Opportunities, which faculty, staff, and graduate students can use to identify potential funding resources, such as grants from private foundations, corporations and public charities.

The research funding workshops will cover strategies for searching the databases, procedures for using alerting services and RSS feeds and locating additional grant information on the Internet. Both databases are available on the Library Databases web page.
