*Made public in early 2006, the index shows a county-by-county breakdown of various education, economic and social factors. Please note that several Oklahoma counties are found to be in the “most critical” need for higher education. Information on this site could help in prioritizing institutional activities and grant writing.
**This course is prepared by The Foundation Center for non-profit organizations. It is well organized and useful for college and university proposal writing, too.
***The Michigan State University Library system has created this collection of 519 listings on all things grant-related.
****The Oklahoma Department of Homeland Security is the single point of contact for all grants submitted to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. 74 O.S. Supp. Section 51.1 (E) lists duties of the Oklahoma Homeland Security Director including, "Coordinating the Homeland Security efforts within the State of Oklahoma, including working with the Governor and Legislature, state agencies, and local elected officials and local governments, emergency responder groups, private-sector businesses, educational institutions, volunteer organizations, and the general public. State agencies receiving federal funding for homeland security purposes shall report the amount and intended use of those funds to the Oklahoma Homeland Security Director to ensure efficient use of funds and to avoid duplication of efforts."
*****National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education Programs - Through this system you can access updated information about DUE projects that is provided and maintained by individual principal investigators. A text search of these records will produce a list of NSF DUE-funded projects which match your input.
