Fee-for-Service Databases
Fee for service databases are not accessible without a subscription although some may offer a free, trial period. A number of university libraries provide access to some of these databases. However, for those without university ties, some local libraries provide on-site access to a few of the resources, such as the Foundation Directory.
- COS Funding Opportunities
Includes funding opportunities from all disciplines and is one of the most comprehensive databases of funding - federal, private and foundations. In order to receive a COS Funding Alert, you must be a registered user of COS. - InfoEd
InfoEd’s Sponsored Programs Information Network (SPIN) is the most widely used funding opportunity database in the world.
