What's Keeping SSU Busy - Funding News

I want to make a blog entry here on a regular basis, of course this week and as we've been trying out the blog this hasn't been an issue, but the idea is to just keep you informed about what keeps us in SSU busy. At times in the past that may have seemed like a mystery to some.

We report, so you don't have to...

Just a quick note about what has been keeping us busy over the past couple of weeks. Many of our grants have reports that come due by the end of January each year. We absolutely need everyone to input good information into CFW, checking fund codes and problems codes, entering grant data and the like, but we spare you dealing with the output of all that work, these reports that must be submitted so we can all be paid.
