Funding Databases

COS Pivot

The ORSP subscribes to COS Pivot, an easy-to-use research funding opportunities database that identifies grant opportunities for research and other academic projects. COS Pivot is a tool that can help faculty bring together the right research opportunities, funding, and people, quickly and easily. It compiles pre-populated researcher profiles unique to Loyola (and other institutions) and matches them to current funding opportunities in the expansive COS database. Allowing faculty to search for a funding opportunity and instantly view matching faculty from inside or outside Loyola. Conversely, a search for a scholar will link to matching funding opportunities.

• Provides access to the most comprehensive source of funding opportunities globally
• Identifies researcher expertise from within or outside of Loyola
• Enhances communication, monitoring, and tracking between individual faculty and the ORSP; and
• Enables you to add internal deadlines to critical funding opportunities and send weekly updates on saved searches you organize in your own folders
