Searching for these limited and transient sources of funding can be challenging. However, some systematic approaches can provide fruitful results. Many associations and scholarly societies now have active web sites. Many of these web sites contain an announcements section where such notices may be posted. A reasonable strategy is to locate the prominent professional and scientific associations in your primary and related disciplines, locate their web sites and regularly browse the announcements sections.
Some associations even have separate sections for graduate students and for sources of funding.
Create bookmarks for the web sites of these associations and view their announcement sections regularly. Internet search engines are available for locating information from the entire internet at large. They are easily accessed directly from most web browsers. Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer each allow you to connect directly to the most prominent search engines such as AltaVista , Yahoo , and others. By entering key words these search engines produce lists of web sites that contain the key words.
