Info from the National Institutes of Health
Getting to Know Federal Funders and their Research Interests
by Mike Lauer, Deputy Director for Extramural Research, National Institutes of Health
Working with NIH applicants and awardees as an extramural program division director, I often shared the NIH RePORTER resource as a tool for exploring the research topics NIH supports. Learning what projects we support, using a robust database of historical and newly-funded projects (updated weekly), provides researchers valuable insight as they consider developing their own research programs and applications for funding.

Reminder about Visual Compliance Screening
The primary reason that the university conducts visual compliance screening is that U.S. law restricts interaction with all individuals and companies on a U.S. government list for debarred, restricted or denied entities. Failure to comply can result in fines, prosecution and the inability to receive any federal funding. Additionally, WSU certifies each time it submits a proposal for a federal grant that we are not in violation of these laws. The only way to provide certainty when answering yes, is through screening.
