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. # http://www.aascu.org/grc/ + 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.

They offer a 30-day free trial. + + # http://www.higheredconnect.com/grantselect/ 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.

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."

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.
