When using Search Our Databases, there are two valuable databases that you can browse or search: the Bee Research Database and the Researcher Directory. In the research database you can explore how funding is allocated by research topic, or search for a specific subject by keyword, researcher, or institution. The Researcher Directory allows you to search for a scientist of interest, and is where you can submit your own information if you would like to be added to the directory.
