Funding information Marcia Landen Zuzolo 07 Mar 1994 11:34 EST

Here's one for users of the Grants database online through Dialog or its
counterpart Dialog onDisc for Grants.

Oryx Press supplies the data for these products, and we at Indiana University
buy an ascii version of their data that we put onto our Gopher Server.  (Sorry,
access is limited to IU only.)

I'm curious as to other people's satisfaction with the quality of the
information from these sources.  For example, deadlines for NIH programs are
very often wrong, and one NIH program had an unexplainable geographic
restriction of New Hampshire.  This same NIH program (a FIRST award from the
National Cancer Institute) was listed as a student financial aid program.

Their geographic restrictions in general confound me to the point where I
ignore the information they provide.

What do others think about the quality of these products?
