FEDERAL FUNDING LANDSCAPE UPDATE
Due to changes in federal government priorities outlined in recent executive orders, we’re seeing a substantially lower than average number of opportunities published in recent weeks. Many programs at institutions like the NIH have been scaled back or suspended. G2G remains committed to identifying and informing the community of opportunities amidst this changing landscape.
