CCAHM member schools: Does your institution receive federal grant funding?

The federal government has released a proposed rule that could affect some institutions receiving federal research grants, workforce development funding and other discretionary awards.

If your school receives funding through agencies such as HRSA, NIH, HHS, NSF, or similar programs, we encourage you to review the proposal and contact CCAHM if you believe your institution may be affected.
