To: Multiple recipients of list WISENET <WIS...@uicvm.cc.uic.edu>

This is for Denise, Susan and anyone else who is
interested in the response to Denise's request for
"information on what researchers have been given grants in
the past year or so and their associated universities."

Unfortunately, a comprehensive listing of NSF grantees is
not readily available. (Keep in mind that NSF grants
actually go to institutions, not individuals.)

Although NSF as an agency doesn't publish a single listing
of grantees, some NSF directorates do, so you may want to
make inquiries of individual directorates. The closest NSF
comes to an agencywide listing is an annual publication
called FY ___ Awards by State and Institution (the most
recent edition is for FY 1995).

Further, you may be able to get the information you are
seeking by accessing the On-Line Science & Technology
Information System (STIS) through the Web. Apparently,
abstracts of all awards made since 1989 are available on
STIS. There's information about using STIS in most NSF
publications.

There's also a publication called "Federal Research in
Progress" that is available from the National Technical
Information Service that describes NSF and other current
federal research grants. The NTIS phone number is (703)
487-4650.

I hope this information is helpful. I should note that most
of it came from a very helpful individual in our General
Counsel's Office.
