Training sessions in Pivot/Cos will be held on December 4th and December 10th in the Hecker Center of the Rockefeller Library.

Pivot/Cos is a tool that can help researchers fund their work as well as guide them through the rigors of tenure, promotion, or future job prospects. One of the great features of Pivot/Cos is its notification system of potential awards and honors within a particular field of study. Pivot/Cos is interested in connecting the people of institutions with all the opportunities available to them.

Participants in the session will get an overview of the Pivot/Cos tool as well as how it relates to the Brown University community.

The session will include:

• Navigating the basics of how to search the grant database.
• Exploring the advanced features of setting up notifications.
• Establishing a scholarly profile.

This course is intended for researchers in all fields and at all career levels including those staff members who support them in finding funding opportunities.
