The Grant Center at DU may be the place to begin your search. Set up as a central repository of information on funding agencies, grant listings and general grant writing information, the Center also fosters collaboration between DU users from many different geographic areas and disciplines. A gopher slate titled Grant Opportunities lists many of the government Internet sites offering grant information. These include such agencies as the National Science Foundation and the National Institute of Health. Current funding opportunities are listed along with guidelines and submission criteria. A catalog of DU users is also available at the Grant Center and is keyword searchable. Those individuals who have completed their @info with relevant information regarding their occupations and interests can be linked with others in the same interest area by searching for a particular keyword, such as history, English, music or K-12. Once individual names are found the searcher can then contact the individual for collaboration on a project. The Grant Center is also the location for funding projects involving the incorporated, non-profit agency known as Diversity University. Support services and hardware require donations of time and equipment not always adequate to meet current user needs. The Grant Center is the focus of the planning for and the solicitation of such current and future development funds. Can project and grant collaboration on DU MOO work? Ask the three professors preparing to begin implementation of an Annenberg/CPB project that was developed at DU or the individuals involved with a recently submitted Department of Education grant. Collaboration on DU can be very rewarding. Author: Cathy Bennet Libnm1@nccvax.wvnet.edu
