The following describes a SPIN search. Performing a search using the COS server will be described in a future issue of Research Review. Detailed information about thousands of government and private funding opportunities, such as for fellowships, travel, research, curriculum development, sabbatical support, and publication support, are contained in the databases and are updated daily.
Some fields provide a list of values to point and click on, others require the user to enter text.
After defining the search, the search is executed and a listing of all opportunities matching the parameters entered is returned. Results can be printed in a variety of formats or saved to a file. Please indicate your name, the date you wish to attend, your research discipline, and a phone number and e-mail address at which you can be contacted. A minimum of five registered participants is necessary to hold the demonstration. The page shown in figure 1 will now be on your screen.
