ACE: Here is a great site from the U.S. Dept of Education on Grants.
U.S. Dept. of Education
     TIRED OF HUNTING DOWN INFORMATION ABOUT DISCRETIONARY GRANT AWARDS?

     Introducing the OCF & CIO Grant Award Database a new and easy resource
     to get the discretionary grant award information that you need fast.

     To make grant award information more easily accessible, the Office of
     the Chief Financial and Chief Information Officer (OCF & CIO) has
     developed an on-line database of grant awards starting with Fiscal
     Year 1997. The database provides a variety of search options including
     searches by State, zip code, award amounts, and CFDA subprogram
     number. It also has full text search capability. The database includes
     general information on all new and NCC discretionary and formula
     grants awarded in Fiscal Year 1997 (Note: the Impact Aid program is
     not currently in the database but is being added soon).
     U.S. Dept. of Education
     You can access the database two ways:
     1) ED's mail Web site: http://web99.ed.gov/grantaward; or
     2) the OCFO grants information site: http://ocfo.ed.gov/grntinfo.htm.
