Computer Retrieval of Information on Scientific Projects provides information about research projects funded or supported by the U.S. Public Health Service (PHS). Most of this research falls within the categories of extramural projects, grants, contracts and cooperative agreements conducted primarily by non-federal institutions and funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). CRSP is a unique source of biomedical information which can be used to reveal trends in biomedical research, methodologies and techniques before they appear in the published literature.
