Also consider the Community of Science Funding Opportunities Database. This database is designed to link researchers and research funding from around the world. The database includes information on funding opportunities announced by federal agencies, state/provincial organizations, commercial entities, non- profit foundations, professional associations, etc. The focus of the database is international in terms of both content and audience. The Funding Opportunities Database is updated daily by the Community of Science Staff who scan many web sites, listservs, as well as the Federal Register and Commerce Business Daily. The Research Library has this database on trial until mid-May. If you think it a worthwhile database for lab-wide access, please send your comments to library@lanl.gov or phone us at 667-5809. For more information on grants and funding resources, visit our Grants and Funding page under Subject Resources on the Research Library's Home Page. One of the Research Library's classes is on locating Grants and Funding Information on the WWW. See the Training Schedule for times in May and June. We will also come to your office if you would like a group presentation or a one-on-one personalized session.

To search these Los Alamos reports, the best ways are by technical report number and title, since this information is found in all the catalog records. Authors and subjects are sometimes found as well. To search by technical report number, in the Telnet version of the catalog, use the TR= search, found on the main search menu. For example, TR=LA- 12345-MS. In the WWW version of the catalog, use the blue button bar to go to Browse, use the pull-down menu to select the Technical Report No. index, and type your number in the Browse Term(s) box. In both versions of the catalog, it is important to include punctuation in the technical report number. Letters can be upper or lower case.
