FMOS-COSMOS is a large near-infrared spectroscopic survey of star-forming galaxies and AGNs in the COSMOS field with the Fiber-Multi Object Spectrograph (FMOS) mounted on the Subaru Telescope.  Observations were taken between 2012 - 2016. The survey has been operating in both the low-resolution mode while simultaneously covering the J and H band spectral windows, and the high-resolution mode.  The latter has focused on the spectral windows 1.6-1.8 μm to detect Hα and [NII]λ6584 and 1.11-1.35 μm to detect Hβ and [OIII]λ5008. In total, a spectroscopic sample of over 1500 star-forming galaxies and AGN have been amassed. This project is a collaboration between the Japanese astronomical community (two Subaru Intensive Programs; PI John Silverman), the University of Hawaii (PI Dave Sanders), and the larger COSMOS team, in particular, CEA - Saclay, the Osservatorio Astronomico di Padova and the Dipartmento di Fisica e Astrofisica Universita di Padova.
