Off-Campus Funding Sources for Staff

Begin your research by consulting these comprehensive online databases.

Community of Science (COS) Don't be mislead by the name "Community of Science" -- this database is a powerful search engine that will help you to research a wide variety of grant resources in virtually every discipline.

Illinois Researcher Information Service (IRIS) The IRIS Alert Service is available to UMASS staff through our subscription to IRIS. It allows users to create individual IRIS search profiles that are run against the IRIS database of funding opportunities at intervals specified by the user (weekly, monthly, or every other month). The search results are delivered to the user by e-mail or posted to a World Wide Web site.

Public Service Endowment Grant Though this is an on-campus source of funding, it has traditionally offered funding for staff-initiated programs which benefit the University. Don't forget to consult the on-campus funding resources page, where a variety of staff-initatiated programs are eligible for funding.
