As many of you know, the Community of Science (COS) grant opportunities
search tool, which we currently use, is transitioning to Pivot. With
that transition would come a quadrupling of our annual fee to about
$7,000. As you might expect, despite a stated huge increase in
functionality, we are not able to justify the cost.

We also know that IRIS is moving to Cazoodle (great name) GrantForward
. And then there is SPIN.

So, do any of you out in grantland have any suggestions, observations,
likes and dislikes, advice, new plans of action….....
