   :description " The Current Research Information System (CRIS), established by the
U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), serves as the USDA
documentation and reporting system for publicly supported
agricultural, food and nutrition, and forestry research in the United
States.

CRIS/USDA 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 of CRIS.  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.

The Inventory of Canadian AGRI-Food Research (ICAR) database, produced
by the Canadian Agricultural Research Council, contains some 4,000
research projects on agriculture, human nutrition and biotechnology in
Canada.
