SOURCES (http://www.research.usf.edu/sources.asp)
SOURCES is a bi-weekly online publication from the Division of Research Grants. Enormously popular with the USF researchers and faculty,
each issue contains no fewer than fifty funding opportunities divided up among several disciplines.
USF Internal Awards Program
The mission of the Internal Awards Program is to foster excellence in research and scholarship by USF faculty and support activities
aimed at securing extramural funding. It typically is administered in two cycles annually through the Division of Sponsored Research
(DSR).
AAU Recognized Awards and Fellowships
The Office of Research has received several requests for a list of awards that are counted in the AAU metrics. You are encouraged to review the list and to make application or nominations of USF faculty that you believe would be appropriate.
COS (http://www.cos.com)
Community of Science (COS) is the leading global resource for hard-to-find information critical to scientific research and other
projects across all disciplines. COS aggregates valuable information so you spend less precious time and money searching for the
information you need, leaving more time and money for your projects.

corporations and nonprofits in more than 170 countries. Use convenient tools to keep your CV updated and accessible.
IRIS (http://www.library.uiuc.edu/iris/)
IRIS offers three Web-based funding and research services: the IRIS Database of federal and private funding opportunities in all
disciplines; the IRIS Alert Service; and the IRIS Expertise Service.
The IRIS Database currently contains over 8,600 active federal and private funding opportunities in the sciences, social sciences, arts,
and humanities. In addition to funding opportunities for faculty, the IRIS Database also contains fellowships and scholarships for grad
students and undergrads. Users can search IRIS by sponsor, deadline date, keyword, and other criteria. Most IRIS records contain live
links to sponsor Web sites, electronic forms, or Electronic Research Administration (eRA) portals. The IRIS Database is updated daily.
The IRIS Alert Service enables students, staff, and researchers at subscribing institutions to create their own IRIS search profiles.
Users can select their preferred search frequency, delivery method (e-mail or Web), and keywords. The program runs the user's profile
against the IRIS database and delivers the search results automatically via e-mail or the Web.
The IRIS Expertise Service enables researchers at subscribing institutions to create detailed electronic CVs ("biosketches") and post
them to a Web-accessible database for viewing by colleagues at other institutions, program officers at federal and private funding
agencies, and private companies. The biosketches can also be used in the electronic submission of grant proposals. There are no
copyright or ownership restrictions on IRIS Expertise Service biosketches. Subscribing institutions can download their faculty members'
biosketches at any time and use them to populate a local database or even another online service.
