6.8 American Association of State Colleges and Universities: Office of
   Federal Programs

  [searchable grant database]

  This organization is composed of more than 430 public colleges and
  universities. Their interests are quite wide-ranging, but one
  includes listing grant opportunities for member institutions. This
  database, "GrantSearch" is obviously searchable, and seems to be
  fairly broad -- a search for "economic" yielded almost 90 "hits."
  Further, most seemed "reasonable" -- that is, it is easy to imagine a
  few economists interested in most of the offerings. To access this
  database, it appears that your institution must be a member of this
  organization.

+  6.9 GrantSelect
+
+  [searchable grant database]
+
+  This database is compiled by Oryx Press, and is said to have some
+  10,000 funding opportunities by some 3,400 entities. A search for
+  "economic" yielded 300 hits (even though it was not one of their
+  listed programs), and a quick search showed that most seemed
+  "reasonable." It is a fee-based service, with rates from $350 to
+  $1,500 for an institution. They offer a 30-day free trial.

6.10 Illinois Researcher Information Service (IRIS)

  [searchable grant database]

  This service is operated by the library of the University of Illinois
  at Urbana-Champaign. It maintains a database of close to 8,000
  funding opportunities, and is updated daily. A search for "economic"
  yielded some 900 "hits," but not all of them seemed to be of interest
  to academic economists. Your institution must be a subscriber to use
  this database. There are more than 200 institutional members, and a
  link to the list is in on the main page.

  # http://www.library.uiuc.edu/iris/


6.11 Department of Justice

  This section of the Justice Department deals with grants that
  researchers can apply for. This site details the different offices
  that sponsor grants and lists the various opportunities for funding.

  # http://www.ncjrs.org/fedgrant.htm


6.12 Environmental Protection Agency: Office of Research and Development

  for those who wish to apply for grants, and information on the
  findings of grants.

  # http://es.epa.gov/ncerqa/


6.13 National Science Foundation: Economics Program

  This section of the NSF, under the newly formed Division of Social
  and Economic Sciences (SES), offers extensive information about
  itself here. This includes a listing of the program directors and
  their assistants, and their contact information. There is a wealth of
  information on applying for NSF grants: guides, checklists, and
  forms, as well as information on regular proposals and special
  funding opportunities. You can also read about grants awarded and
  grants that are currently funded. For those who currently have an NSF
  grant, there is information on extensions and the NSF's data
  archiving policy.

6.14 Calvin K. Kazanjian Economics Foundation

  This foundation points out a survey of high school students showed
  that "Only 30 percent know that low income results from the lack of
  marketable skills," and "48 percent think that high wages are a
  result of minimum wage laws, government actions or socially
  responsible business leaders." Not surprisingly, they promote
  economic education in many different ways. Besides information on how
  to apply for grants, there is also background information on the
  foundation, its very specific goals, and its mission statement.

  # http://www.kazanjian.org/


+  6.15 Manhattan Institute
+
+  The Manhattan Institute, "a market-oriented think tank," is offering
+  a $10,000 grant to graduate students and academics in a variety of
+  policy areas. Details on the application procedure and areas of
+  interest can be found at this site.
