We have faced similar challenges with some 2000 research faculty members
here on the campus of the Georgia Institute of Technology.  Since our
office does not have the resources to create individual web pages for
research faculty, we have begun utilizing the free e-mail alert services
that are available from many U.S. federal agencies.  You are welcome to
view them through our home page at http://www.gatech.edu/oca/.  Click on
Proposal Development Assistance, then on Proposal Development Information.
Our Program Development Office staff directs faculty to these services and,
in some cases, we even set up the user profile and initiate the service for
faculty.
