SPIN, the Sponsored Programs Information Network, is available at MIT 
through the Office of Sponsored Programs.

SPIN is a computerized database of funding opportunities including 
federal and nonfederal agencies, philanthropic organizations and 
foundations, voluntary health organizations and corporations. The 
database can help members of the community find external support for 
research, development and education projects as well as funding for 
fellowships, sabbaticals, publications and travel.

The Research Foundation of the State of New York developed and maintains 
the database.

FEDIX is the Federal Information Exchange with on-line database 
information on the Department of Energy, the Office of Naval Research 
and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

FEDIX offers universities and other research groups access to the latest 
information on research and educational programs free of charge. Any 
microcomputer with communications software and a modem can access the 
system.

Any member of the research community seeking information about potential 
sponsors through a SPIN search, or information from FEDIX, may call 
Diane J. Eisenhaur, x3-2921.
