CRIS - Current Research Information System
The USDA Research
Database (CRIS) contains the information on ongoing and recently
completed projects sponsored or conducted primarily within the USDA
and State university research system. Some 30,000 project summaries,
including latest progress reports and lists of recent publications
coming out of the research, are maintained in the file on an ongoing
basis.
Projects on
human nutrition research of the Federal agencies are also included
in the database. These are maintained in the Human Nutrition and
Information Management System (HNRIMS) subfile. Updated annually,
the HNRIMS subfile is prepared jointly by the U.S. Department of
Agriculture and the National Institutes of Health (NIH), U.S. Department
of Health and Human Services. The subfile currently contains some
4,000 summaries of human nutrition research projects conducted or
sponsored by the USDA, NIH and other Federal agencies. |
