The CRISP
thesaurus maintained by the
Office of Extramural Research at
the
National Institutes of Health
is a
public domain collection of
lists with the terms used in
biological and
medical research. CRISP is an
acronym for Computer Retrieval
of Information on Scientific
Projects.
CRISP is a fully searchable
database of federally funded
biomedical research projects,
including those undertaken at
universities,
hospitals and private research
institutions. It includes research
projects funded by the
National Institutes of Health
(NIH),
Substance Abuse and Mental Health
Services (SAMHSA),
Health Resources and Services
Administration (HRSA),
Food and Drug Administration
(FDA),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDCP),
Agency for Health Care Research
and Quality (AHRQ), and
Office of Assistant Secretary of
Health (OASH).
All users, including the
general public, can search through
the CRISP interface for scientific
concepts or emerging trends and
techniques that are covered by
federal funding. It can also be
used to identify specific projects
or investigators that receive, or
have received, funding.
