• Sustainable Regional Systems Research Networks – We discuss the NSF Sustainable Regional Systems Research Networks solicitation and how it illustrates the concept of convergent research.
• Why Faculty Should Attend Funder Conferences and Workshops – NSF recently announced its Spring 2024 NSF Grants Conference, and NIH is tentatively planning its Grants Conference for late 2024. We discuss why PIs should attend these types of conferences and program-specific workshops.

• Avoiding A Common Reviewer Complaint: Descriptive Research – A common complaint in reviews is that the project is descriptive. We discuss what that term means and how to avoid it (reprinted from March 2021 issue).
