This month's additions are few because our attention was focused on one particular page in the VCC.
All listings on our page for Research Grants were revisited to check on the currency and accuracy of our information. We deleted several listings and updated many more. In addition, we reviewed eligibility information for each and
 flagged those programs that are open to non-US citizens / permanent residents (this includes programs open only to citizens of countries other than the US) noted those programs for which we could not find any citizenship requirements
We also noted application deadlines where possible. This seems to be a particularly active time for new funding.
In addition to our review, we did add one new resource to this page:
- Research Grants: Q-Z -- We added a link to the U.S. Food & Drug Administration Orphan Products Grant Program.
