Introduction to the Activities & Grants Database

This section of the web site contains information about PCV projects and grants received to support those projects. Note: You must be logged in in order to access this section of the web site.

In this section of the web site, PCVs and PC staff members can:

• View & Search the database for information about projects and grants. This information can be viewed in either summary or detail form. You can choose to view all records in the database or search for those that are of interest to you. To view or search the database, go to the "View & Search the Database" page.
• Print information about projects and grants in either detail or summary format. To print project and grant information, go to the "View & Search the Database" page, find the information you want to print and click on the print icon. In summary format, you can choose to print all, or only selected summaries.
• Save either detailed or summary information about projects and grants for later reference. To save information, go to the "View & Search the Database" page, find the information you want (either detail or summary) and and RIGHT-click on the save icon. The information will be converted into Rich Text Format (RTF) and can be opened and edited in Microsoft Word, Windows WordPad and many other word processors.
• Download the full grant document, if available. If the full document is available, a link will appear in both the detail and summary formats of the grant record. Users can click (or preferably right-click) on this link to download the document. These documents can be very helpful for those preparing new grant applications. To download documents, first go to the "View & Search the Database" page.
• Add information about their own projects or grants, so the information will be available to other PCVs. Once you complete the data entry form on the "Add Information" page your information will be entered into the database and will be available for all logged-in users.
• Edit information previously added to the database. As long as you log in with the same user name you used to add the original information to the database, you will be able to edit that information. So, don't worry about making mistakes. You can always correct them. To do so, find your project in the "View & Search the Database" page, then click on the edit icon.
• Grasp the overall picture. By visiting the Summary Data page, logged-in users can get a bird's eye view of project and grant data, sorted by oblast, year, PC group and a number of other factors. If you want a closer view, clicking on the relevant link will take you to a detailed view of underlying data.
