READ

About:

• --The Repository for Electronic Aggregation of Documents (READ) is an online database that will house grants, publications or links thereto and will provide a means for viewers to brows through them using a number of filters. Our goal is to minimize the need for authors to manually manage their publications through the features that READ will employ. We also hope for Read to be able to more efficiently advertise ongoing research, and available grants to whoever requires them. We want the users to work less in order to READ more.--
