Gallaudet University maintains a subscription to the COS funding database. The links given below are to the program and deadline announcements of the individual agencies, rather than to the agency's home page. Other offices at the agency provide support for programs designed to address post-secondary educational improvements, and adult, bilingual, vocational, and workplace education.
Several units support training, and a few support drug-free programs targeted to varied audiences.
The agency funds research grants, program project grants, and research training through its component institutes, including the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders, the National Institute of Mental Health, and the National Institute on Aging. Some of the other federal agencies providing support for basic and applied research, education, or technical assistance include the Environmental Protection Agency , the Agency for International Development , the National Aeronautics and Space Administration , the National Endowment for the Humanities and the National Endowment for the Arts , and the Departments of Agriculture , Labor , Transportation , Commerce , Justice , and the Interior . The Foundation Center provides information on foundations, corporate giving, and related subjects. Gallaudet faculty and staff must discuss any approach to foundations with the Development Office. GrantsNet, as the web site is called, is geared toward funding opportunities from both federal and private institutions.
