This is an announcement of an online "webinar" (I didn't invent the word!) with some interesting presentations and updates of federal funding agencies' spending priorities and other issues important to researchers. While the webinar seems pitched to administrators, those of you with active or potential funded research projects may find that there's a lot worth learning here. My sense is that you can pick and choose the presentations you most want to hear--you don't have to take it all in! I'd encourage you to find things that interest you and to share what you've learned with your colleagues and, if you have further concerns or questions, with the Research Office.
