Building Reports with SPIN
After using SPIN to search for funding opportunities, you may want to save some of your results; the best way to do so is to create a report. This section will show you how to create a report and save or print it.
  1. To create a report detailing the results found from your search, first click the check box to the right of an entry for inclusion in the report. You can select as many entries as you would like.
  2. At the bottom of the search results page is a set of options for the Report. Report Options determine how much information will be included in the report . Destination Options determine whether the report opens in another window or is saved to your computer. See Figure 1 below.

  1. Once you have selected your desired options, click on to create the report. Figure 2 below shows how a sample report using Full Program information appears when the Display to Browser/Print option is selected. A report using summary information will look similar in appearance, but will be shorter due to the condensed information format.
If you selected the Save to File option, a window will open asking you where you would like to save it. The file will be in .rtf format (Rich Text Format) and will open with Microsoft Word or other word processing software. It can then be opened and/or printed later.
