Hello Everyone:

 As a service to researchers preparing grant proposals, our institution
is considering creating a central, web-based repository of boilerplate
descriptions of our institution, facilities, centers, and programs.
Does anything like this already exist at any of your institutions? We
have found that faculty have to comb through dozens of webpages and
make dozens of inquiries all over campus to get specific information
for their proposals, e.g. number of beds in various hospital units,
dollars spent on community outreach programs, etc.. As we move forward
with this effort, we would be interested in hearing from any of you
with previous experience. If you have such a service, how often is it
utilized? How is it structured and maintained? How are the descriptions
approved and who approves them? Who is responsible for keeping the
information up to date? Do you have sample cover letters? Do you simply
have a list of links to other sites? I would appreciate any relevant
information.

 Warm regards,
 Christa Johnson
