Search Options

Note: not all options will be available on all of the Funded Research databases
Search All Grants | Search Recent Grants | Search Grants at Specific Institutions | Search for Grants in Specific States or Countries | Search by Keyword



I. Search All Grants

The Search All Grants interface allows you to construct a targeted, field-specific search using search boxes and picklists. You can combine any or all of the fields using drop-down menus of Boolean Operators: and, or, and not.
  • Note: Only enter information in those fields you wish to search on.

  • The Rules for Searching section details the search strategies and syntax that can be used in this interface.


II. Search Recent Grants

Search Recent Grants is designed to search the database for the most recently added records. This page allows you to enter searches just as you would using the Search All Grants Interface, but limit the search to those records most recently added to the database (the date duration for this interface differs depending on which database chosen).



III. Search Grants by Specific Institutions

This interface allows you to pick a specific research institution that has received a grant from the list provided. You can then add other search parameters using the specific institution interface. (Note: not every institution receiving a grant in the database is listed).



IV. Search Grants in Specific States or Countries

These interfaces let you choose a specific U.S. state (or also a foreign country in the case of the USDA) in which to limit your search. Click on a specific state on the image map to go to an interface for that state or use the text links below the map.



V. Search By Keyword

The Keyword Interface (NIH and MRC) allows you to browse or search for specific keywords from the controlled vocabulary list. Note, not all records have keywords attached to them. Click on the letter from the list to see the terms beginning with that letter or type a word, phrase or root word to find specific terms in the vocabulary.
