Through their desktop, University of Connecticut faculty and researchers
have access to an impressive array of online resources designed for locating
current biomedical funding sources, promoting their work or sharing expertise
with like-minded scientists half a world - or half a mile - away. The
first two sources are limited to UCHC users; all other sites are searchable
(for free) by anyone in the world. Please call Reference staff at 679-2942
if you have questions or comments about using these sources.
