* The Howard Hughes Medical Institute and the American Association for the Advancement of Science have started a new Web site to provide free information on grants to scientists (http://www.grantsnet.org). “GrantsNet” now has about 50 listings and expects to have a searchable data base of more than 350 grant and fellowship programs available by the end of the year.
* The Coalition for Healthier Cities and Communities now has a Web site (http://www.healthycommunities.org). The Chicago charity, which represents almost 200 organizations concerned about health care, hopes that the site will serve as a clearinghouse for information on effective local programs. Visitors can search a “community library,” find out about forthcoming conferences, and discuss issues with colleagues in “community forums,” among other things.
