As grant seekers pursue funding, keeping track of upcoming grant deadlines is crucial, and this new FAM feature aids the step by providing a list.
This list is for deadlines a few weeks in advance and includes the programs that will award a considerable number of grants—not just one or two. This particular update focuses on deadlines for the week of June 22-26.
FAM readers can visit the online calendar to keep track of grant deadlines in July and subsequent months. The calendar can be accessed by visiting www.grantsandfunding.net/fam and clicking on Grant Deadline Calendar on the left hand side of the home page.
