Computer Retrieval of Information on Scientific Projects provides information about research projects funded or supported by the U.S. Public Health Service (PHS). Most of this research falls within the categories of extramural projects, grants, contracts and cooperative agreements conducted primarily by non-federal institutions and funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). CRSP is a unique source of biomedical information which can be used to reveal trends in biomedical research, methodologies and techniques before they appear in the published literature.
The following alphabetical list provides the two-letter label, the relevant alias, and an example for each Computer Retrieval of Information on Scientific Projects database field.

Abstract (Adapted from the applicant`s abstract): A variety of gene transfer vectors will ultimately be required to develop successful gene therapies for human disease. Each vector type requires specialized technology to optimize gene transfer and to address production issues. Although initial efforts utilized viral vectors for human gene therapy, synthetic, non-viral gene delivery systems have shown promise in clinical use. Desirable features of these vectors include improved safety for direct gene transfer in vivo and simplified production.
