Grant Forward Alerts Bug

From Grant Forward:

"As you may have noticed, there's been a bug causing Grant Alerts to be sent to the incorrect recipients.  We've had to disable Grant Alerts temporarily in the meantime.  The development team is currently working on a fix and the alerts should be working properly again in the next two weeks.  We're sorry for the inconvenience, and thank you all for your patience."

If you're not familiar with Grant Forward, it contains information on over 9,000 active federal and private funding opportunities in the sciences, social sciences, arts, and humanities. It also contains fellowships and scholarships for grad students. The database is updated daily and compiled weekly. It is available to TSRI employees through an institutional subscription.

The Library also maintains a site that compiles grant websites, books and databases, check it out here.
