Dear Collegues!

I am a new, but nevertheless enthusiastic user of gopher. I am
using gopher to distribute my

                              "ifo"

   giving informations on awards, fellowships, prizes and other
                 research funding possibilities.

This distribution is primarily intended for the University of
Giessen. Many other German universities also evaluate the
information contained in ifo.

There is a beginning cooperation with some EC-Universities also.

Looking for more information from abroad I browsed through the
gopher menues. I found at the Sunic - Gopher a hint for a subject
tree but this tree includs, so fas as I realise, till now no
subjects of interest to me. The other possibility, to ask for
interesting subjects, Veronica, resulted, e. g. asking for awards,
in hundreds of hints also unusable.

On the other hand at North American gophers I found with Veronica
a lot of hints on NIH, Fedix etc., but it seems to me that these
entries are more occasionally than systematically. Recently I
detected that the NIH Guides are provided from the ORTTA Gopher/U.
Wisconsin, these people are discussing a "gopherized guide
version" with NIH.

So I ask you for help: Do there exist any systematics on my above
described field of interest, concerning "ifo"?

If not, who is interested to cooperate to create one?

I am thinking on a scheme, maybe subject tree: who is referring on
what and which is the latest entry?

I think it will not be necessary to have (e. g. the full NIH or
Fedix) programmes on more than one gopher but it is necessary that
everybody is able to know that they are existing and where.

For Germany there are till now so far as I know, two systems on
gopher:

- ifo Giessen at the gopher of Justus Liebig University of Giessen
  gopher.uni-giessen.de 70 (see entry ifo)

- IFF Paderborn at the gopher of ASK Karlsruhe.
  192.67.194.33 70 (see entry IFF)

Both are giving informations on nearly all reachable funding
possibilities of Germany including the latest EC-Programmes. And
we are working on giving more detailed informations of the big
German funding organisations as DFG, VW-Stiftung, DAAD on gopher -
though this will need a lot of time.

Hoping to hear from you,

yours Ulrich Duerr
