Foundation Center's SearchZone
http://fdncenter.org/search/
SearchZone provides access to all of the information retrieval tools we've developed over the years, including the new Grantmaker Web Search, a robust search tool powered by technology from Ultaseek, a long-time developer of Web Search applications. This engine allows researchers to search the Web sites of more than 1,000 U.S. grantmakers, while excluding nearly all extraneous Web content. A search can be conducted simply by entering a word or several words into the box provided, and clicking "search". Results can be sorted by relevance or by date.
SearchZone also provides a link to Foundation Finder , a handy look-up tool for basic information on more than 50,000 private and community foundations. It will provide users with the foundation address, telephone number, contact name, Web address (if applicable), e-mail address, foundation type, fiscal information, and employer identification number (EIN).
Other specialized tools in the SearchZone include PND Search and the Catalog of Nonprofit Literature Online. PND Search effectively searches the archives of Philanthropy News Digest, our weekly compendium of philanthropy news articles abstracted from print and electronic sources and returns precise results sorted chronologically. The Catalog of Nonprofit Literature Online is a searchable database of the literature of philanthropy, and incorporates the unique contents of the Foundation Center's five libraries.

GrantsNet focuses on funding opportunities in biomedical research and science education. It contains programs that offer training and research funding for graduate and medical students, postdoctoral fellows, and junior faculty, as well as programs in science, math, engineering, and technology for undergraduate faculty and students.
Programs are listed here under the name of the granting foundation, and foundations are arranged in alphabetical order. When a foundation is named after a person, that foundation is listed in alphabetical order according to the person's surname (e.g., The Roy C. Carver Charitable Trust is listed under "C"). Click on the appropriate letter and you will generate a table of basic information. Click on the Go button next to a specific program to view more details for that program.
Free registration may be required.
