It's pretty easy to find journal articles on a specific subject or with a specific author. Is there a way to search by a specific research grant? I once helped fund a research grant and as a scientist myself I'm interested to see what they found, but I'm not sure where to even start looking.

Do you remember the name of the grant?

All I know is that it was done through the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society for $50,000 in April 2012. I've aimlessly poked around their site a couple of times but it wasn't productive.

Academic grants, I'm assuming? If so... http://www.lls.org/researchershealthcareprofessionals/academicgrants/

Yeah that's a good link, and I can pull up a bunch of grants awarded in 2012, but they all say they were sponsored by schools and things. This was a group of private citizens.

It could essentially be a smokescreen for the privacy of said citizens. If you have a receipt, you can call some of these places and ask for the status of whatever grant you're looking for. You might even learn the name of it!

Cannabis cures both of those ailments.
