About NTIS®

The National Technical

Information Service proudly serves

as the nation’s largest central

resource and primary disseminator

of information produced by the

U.S. government, non-U.S.

government departments,

prestigious universities, and

corporate research organizations

in the United States and around

the world!

NTIS’ mission is to improve the

efficiency and effectiveness

of the U.S. research and

development enterprise; increase

productivity and innovation in the

United States; and increase U.S.

competitiveness in the global

economy.

NTIS collects scientific, technical,

engineering, and business-related

information—then organizes,

maintains, and disseminates that

information in a variety of

formats—from microfiche to online

services. The NTIS collection of

nearly 3 million titles includes

reports describing research

conducted or sponsored by

federal agencies and their

contractors; statistical and

business information; U.S. military

publications; audiovisual products;

computer software and electronic

databases developed by federal

agencies; training tools; and

technical reports prepared by

research organizations worldwide.

Approximately 100,000 new titles

are added and indexed into the

NTIS collection annually.

NTIS operates very much like

a private business and is

somewhat unusual in that it

pays its own way. NTIS is a selfsupporting federal agency within

the Technology Administration of

the Department of Commerce.

All costs associated with

operating NTIS are paid for by the

revenue generated from the sale

of its products and services.

Federal Research in Progress Database (FEDRIP)

Updated monthly

The Federal Research In Progress Database provides

advanced information about ongoing federally funded

projects in the fields of the physical sciences, engineering,

life sciences and more. FEDRIP’s uniqueness lies in its

structure as a nonbibliographic information source of

research in progress. Project descriptions generally include:

project title, keywords, start date, estimated completion

date, principal investigator, performing and sponsoring

organizations, summary, and progress report. Record

content varies depending on the source agency.

Anyone needing to keep informed about federally

sponsored research projects in the fields of the physical,

engineering, and life sciences should use FEDRIP to:

• Avoid research duplication

• Locate sources of support

• Identify leads in the literature

• Stimulate ideas for planning

• Identify gaps in areas of investigation

• Locate individuals with expertise

Information in the FEDRIP Database is compiled from

13 government sources:

• Bureau of Mines

• Department of Agriculture

• Department of Energy

• Department of Veterans Affairs

• Environmental Protection Agency

• Federal Highway Administration

• National Aeronautics and Space Administration

• National Institutes of Health

• National Institute of Standards and Technology

• National Science Foundation

• Nuclear Regulatory Commission

• Small Business Innovation Research Board

NIOSH Manual of Analytical Methods Database

This database is a compilation of methods for sampling

and analysis of contaminants in workplace air, and in the

bodily fluids of workers who are occupationally exposed

to that air. These methods have been developed to

detect concentrations exceeding safe levels of exposure,

as regulated by OSHA and recommended by NIOSH.

Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health Concentrations Database

The NIOSH Documentation for the Immediately Dangerous to

Life or Health Concentrations Database contains air

concentration values used by NIOSH as respirator selection

criteria. This compilation is the rationale and sources of

information used by NIOSH during the original determination

of 387 IDLHs in 1994 and their subsequent review and revision.

Toxicologists, persons concerned with indoor air quality,

respirator users, industrial hygienists, and emergency

response personnel should access this database to

compare NIOSH limits to other limits. It is also valuable to

those concerned with acute chemical exposures.

NIOSHTIC Database

Updated quarterly

A bibliographic database of literature in the field of

occupational safety and health. About 160 current, English

language technical journals provide approximately 35

percent of the additions to NIOSHTIC annually. Retrospective

information, some of which is from the 19th century, is also

acquired and entered.

Because NIOSH examines all aspects of adverse effects

experienced by workers, much of the information contained

in NIOSHTIC has been selected from sources that do not

have a primary occupational safety and health orientation.

Use NIOSHTIC to access:

• Content specifically focused on issues pertaining to

occupational safety and health.

• Technical articles from over 4,000 sources including

approximately 160 core journals.

• Information from proceedings of scientific meetings and

symposia.

• Approximately 195,000 records with 6,000 new records

added each year.

• Records which include CAS numbers; SIC codes and

CODEN for improved searching.

• Translations of non-English occupational safety and health

articles acquired by NIOSH.

the relationship between exposure to herbicides and the

development of birth defects and transient peripheral

neuropathy, as well as the relationship between exposure

to herbicides and the subsequent development of prostate,

hepatobiliary, nasopharygeal, and other cancers.

Reviews and summarizes the strength of scientific evidence

NTIS Price Schedules

NTIS generally uses price codes

to indicate the cost of items sold.

These schedules convert the

price codes into actual prices.

Out-of-Print Surcharge

Standard A-code priced

documents announced by NTIS

over three years ago are subject

to a 25% out-of-print surcharge.

The out-of-print price for such

items is shown to the right of

the standard price in these

price schedules. Generally,

these reports have an NTIS

order number of 93 or earlier

(e.g., N93-xxxxx; PB90-xxxxx;

DE91xxxxx; etc.).

If the NTIS order number for an

A-code priced report does not

show an identifiable year

(e.g., most AD-prefixed items),

contact the NTIS Sales Desk by

phone at (703) 487-4650 or by

fax at (703) 321-8547 for the

correct price.

For Customers

outside the U.S., Canada, and Mexico

NTIS generally uses price codes

to indicate the cost of items sold.

These schedules convert the

price codes into actual prices.

Out-of-Print Surcharge

Standard A-code priced

documents announced by NTIS

over three years ago are subject

to a 25% out-of-print surcharge.

The out-of-print price for such

items is shown to the right of

the standard price in these

price schedules. Generally,

these reports have an NTIS

order number of 93 or earlier

(e.g., N93-xxxxx; PB90-xxxxx;

DE91xxxxx; etc.).

If the NTIS order number for an

A-code priced report does not

show an identifiable year

(e.g., most AD-prefixed items),

contact the NTIS Sales Desk by

phone at (703) 487-4650 or by

fax at (703) 321-8547 for the

correct price.

Prices are subject to change

* A01 for standard microfiche is $20.00; $25.00 for out-of-print microfiche.

* A02 for standard microfiche is $28.00; $35.00 for out-of-print microfiche.
