Funding opportunities

One-stop shopping for grant searches and applications: Grants.gov is the new clearinghouse web site for all federal grant programs. Grants.gov was launched in December 2003 with application packages from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the Departments of Commerce, Education, Energy and Justice. More agencies are expected to post their programs in coming months.
