ystem finds research funds
By BRIAN BEALOCK
Campus Reporter
Faculty members at Texas A&M
[[University who are looking for re-
earch funding now have a quick and
free method to obtain the informa-
[ ifion they need, said the associate
' /ice president of the Texas A&M Re
search Foundation.
Heston Cherry said the Research
foundation, in cooperation with the
k Office of University Research and
lie Office of Human Resources Re
search and Development, has made
javailable to the Texas A&M faculty
(lie Illinois Researcher Information
(System (IRIS). '
“To me, this is one of the greatest
[services I have seen anyone provide
in the form of readily availabel re
search information,” Cherry said.
Cherry said the IRIS system,
which is located at the University of
Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, offers
It a quick, individually tailored search
containing suggested funding
sources and enough information for
the individual to decide on the speci
fic program he wants to pursue.
The IRIS system is free to the fa
culty and the information is either
accessible through a telephone hook
up or through the mail, Cherry said.
The user of the system selects any
number of subject keywords from
over 800 subjects available in the
keyword index. He then answers
several questions that help limit the
search to his particular needs. Once
this is done the system matches
these restrictions and keywords to
produce a listing of applicable prog
rams, he explained.
The listing contains the name of
the agency, address, applicant
criteria, deadlines for application
and a short description of the
program.
Cherry said the system empha
sizes post-doctoral and professional
funding, and that only continuing
programs are listed in the data bank.
An advantage to the system is that
the information is updated daily to
ensure that the information is cur
rent.
Faculty members at Texas A&M
can use the system at four locations.
Telephone hook-ups are located at
the Research Foundation, the Office
of University Research, the Medical
Sciences Library and at the Auto
mated Information Retrieval Service
in the library.
“This is an experimental program
for the first year to see how it works
and how valuable it is to the Univer
sity staff. Cherry said.
