Each issue covers federal agency policy updates and notices from NIH, NSF, and other sponsors; internal and external funding opportunities; upcoming proposal deadlines including VTCSOM-specific internal deadlines and OSP submission requirements; and announcements from Virginia Tech and VTCSOM relevant to pre- and post-award grant administration.
