Important Community of Science Update

Community of Science is transferring all current COS Expertise Profiles effective January 18 to its recently launched service, COS Pivot.  Data in the "old" COS Expertise Profiles will be made available only through the Pivot platform.  If you are in old COS, you are in Pivot already.  All each existing user has to do is to "claim" the profile in Pivot.  New users must use Pivot to create their profiles.  Both existing users and new users can go to http://pivot.cos.com -- NO "www."  Existing users can click "Log in" to claim their profiles if they know their COS usernames and passwords.  New users--and existing users who don't have their old COS usernames and passwords--can create their profiles at http://pivot.cos.com by clicking "Sign in."

New COS Pivot research funding tool now at NC State

Carol Ashcraft shared this note with the NCSU funding listserv. I realize that Community of Science (COS) is often not that useful for social scientists and humanists, but it has become much more useful in the past four years, and I have found interesting opportunities there, many of which I share with you on this blog.
