Could become: I am searching and researching, and I know this world famous group may have insight and resources from which I can benefit. Reasoning: The two "some" and two "that" are not needed. What follows the "but" shows no contradiction to what proceeded it and thus an "and" would be more appropriate. However, the sentence is just plain awkward. I think it would read better as: I am researching and asking this group to provide insight and resources for me to consider.

Tedd, you get a B+, because I have no idea by that sentence what it is that you're researching. You better do the extra credit work if you plan on keeping up that fake GPA. -- Daniel P.
