The database is searchable by organization, keywords, project type, program and state. Search results additionally list applicant contact information, project title, grant money requested and a project description.
In a July poll on telecom expert Craig Settles’ blog, 42% of respondents said they intended to apply for broadband grant money but didn’t think they could meet the deadline.
