COS Pivot is the amalgamated version of the former COS Funding Opportunities and COS Scholar Universe databases. It provides access to funding opportunities, profiles of scholars and leading research organizations. Setting up an account allows researcher(s) to identify and claim their own profile and receive funding opportunity recommendations.
Faculty can access Pivot in two ways: 1) IP Access From any on-campus computer, a user can go right to http://pivot.cos.com /IP addresses will be recognized by Pivot, one can start searching for funding or faculty profiles right away. 2) Username and Password. Faculty can log in at http://pivot.cos.com with a Pivot username and password anytime, anywhere. Logging in this way will take the user to his or her Pivot homepage. From their homepage, they can manage active or tracked funding opportunities, saved searches, shared opps, etc., and start searching for funding or scholars. Username and password access is necessary when a) a user is off-campus, or b) when a user needs to save a funding record or funding search.
