The current budget picture at NIH means fewer new grants funded and more anxiety for all investigators. This session will provide insight into both realities and myths of the current budget picture at NIH. We will also discuss strategies for coping, including things you can do that do not depend on NIH.
Please join the Research Funding Service for this informative hour. No registration necessary.

Over the summer, the Health Sciences Libraries moved to a new, "reloadable" copy card system by Jamex. If you have a Copico Northwest card, stop by the HSL Cashier's office (Monday - Friday 8 am - 4:50 pm) to transfer the balance to a new card.
New cards are purchased for $1 from a vending machine and then can have value (up to $25) added them. Individuals may still purchase cards by UW budget number, check, or credit card at the HSL Cashier's office.
Prices remain the same ($0.15/page for photocopies and $0.10/page for b&w laser printing). All but one copier uses the card exclusively.
