Dear Colleagues,

In 2010 we are streamlining the newsletter to provide you more of what you have told us that you really want...information on grant opportunities and annoucements of training programs. 

Our Grant Alerts are now divided into two parts: opportunities with fixed deadlines, and a new webpage--Foundations--where we list foundations and other agencies that conduct their grant programs on an ongoing basis, making awards throughout the year.

As always, thank you for your appreciation of our work.
