UPDATES
IDENTIFYING
FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES: On-line search tools
are available to IUPUI investigators who are interested
in identifying funding opportunities in their areas
of interest. Several are listed below:
Community
of Science (COS): COS is a primary on-line
search tool for identifying funding opportunities. To
take advantage of this powerful tool, register at http://www.cos.com/login/join.shtml.
Once you have completed the short registration process,
you can personalize your search by selecting the option
entitled “launch your workbench”. You can
search for funding opportunities using key terms and
save the results of up to 20 searches and have them
directly delivered to you weekly via email.
National
Institutes of Health (NIH) “NIH Guide”:
To take advantage of this search tool, register at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/listserv.htm.
It allows you to receive discipline specific funding
opportunities that are delivered to you weekly via email.
National
Science Foundation (NSF) “MyNSF”:
To take advantage of this search tool register at http://www.nsf.gov/mynsf/.
It allows you to receive discipline specific funding
opportunities that are delivered to you weekly via email.
Limited
Submission Funding Opportunities : Occasionally
a funding agency places a limitation on the number of
proposals that can be submitted from a campus or university
system. For a description of the upcoming “limited
submission” funding opportunities, guidelines
and application forms, go to: http://www.srs.indiana.edu/LimSub/LimSub.asp.

received in 2005.
More than 300 new drug products and
vaccines, targeting more than 200 diseases including
various cancers, Alzheimer's disease, heart disease,
diabetes, multiple sclerosis, AIDS and arthritis, are
in clinical trials today based on NIH funded research.
The amount spent on health care per
person per year in the United States has doubled from
