Mary,

Try the "search " button at the top of any Forum page. If you search for 'slides', you get this .

I don't personally know of any internet service that produces slides from digital images or prints, but I'm sure there are many. If your digital camera has lots of megapixels,you might be better off going digitally. The problem with prints is that they compress the values in the lightest and in the darkest areas. Once you scan them, then send them off to have slides created, the final result will be compounded even more. The reason to take slides in the first place is to try to minimize the distortion of your image. The reason you probably have poor results with taking slides is that you are likely using daylight film, and not matching the time of day (10-11 am or 1-2 pm on a clear day) to the light temperature your film expects to find. Matching light temperatures is just as important with print film as with negative film.

At the very least talk to a photoprocessor in your town and find out if they can advise you. If there is a deadline for your grant application coming up, you'll just have to do the best you can. Good luck,
