GRMERC:Survival Guide to GRMERC Research

Community of Science (COS) : A tool for finding researchers and collaborators. COS is the leading Internet site for the global R&D community. It brings together scientists and researchers from more than 1,600 universities, corporations and government agencies worldwide and provides tools that enable them to find each other, link up and communicate. Tools include COS Expertise® which is a database of detailed, first person profiles of more than 480,000 R&D professionals, COS Funding Opportunities™, one of the largest sources of grant information on the Web, and the ability to generate documents such as biosketches. COS is a privately held company. MSU is a member. Researchers can access COS services by establishing a personal COS Workbench at http://www.cos.com/.

Computer Retrieval of Information on Scientific Projects (CRISP) is a searchable database of federally funded biomedical research projects conducted at universities, hospitals, and other research institutions. http://crisp.cit.nih.gov/
