Resources

Federal Clearinghouses

The Federal Government funds a variety of clearinghouses. Each clearinghouse usually deals with a specific topic (e.g., drug abuse, delinquency) or Federal agency. These clearinghouses distribute a variety of materials: program models, grant information, research and evaluation findings, newsletters, and funding announcements. Clearinghouses can usually refer callers to other Federal clearinghouses and to non-Federal foundations and associations dealing with the same subject matter.
