Resources for Researchers

Dollars and Cents

There are two ways to search the NIH grant and contract database: The Community of Science allows searches by dollars, site, years left, etc. The NIH site includes the NIH Guide to Grants & Contracts and CRISP, which permits searches in a more user-friendly format. Check out other funding opportunities courtesy of the Texas Research Administrators Group (TRAM). FedWorld offers links to many federal agencies and is also sorted by topic.

Mathematics, Comp Sci & Statistics

Relevant organizations include the American Mathematical Society, Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and the Society for Industrial & Applied Mathematics (SIAM). And let's not forget the American Statistical Association. Significant online publications include the Society for Mathematical Biology Digest. If you focus on biostatistics, check out these Biostatistics Resources for a pretty long, well-organized list. Or dig around more biostatistics and software resources. Another biostat site hits the high points in a disorganized way. Ready for still more subject trees? Try mathematics sites--a long laundry list if you've got the time. Or statistics links--short 'n' sweet, with a link to StatLib. Demography and population resources might interest you as well.
