GRANTSEARCH REGISTER New Print Edition In Preparation
to be notified when published
|
|
'For those who prefer the certainty of hard copy'
Note: the online database is current, with ~70 entries updated every week
The GrantSearch Register of Australian Funding
is a printed version of the database.
While the database is dynamic and constantly updated,
the contents of the book are static and gradually become
out of date. Even so, some prefer it to online subscriptions, and continue
to find it useful long after its intended lifetime of 18 - 24 months.
A new edition is now in preparation. This is a labour-intensive
process which involves checking every detail of the entire database before going to press. It is difficult to predict how long this will take, so please be patient - responding to repeated requests for progress reports only increases the burden of work and leads to further delay.
