Dear Colleagues,
The strategic investment fund is the key component in the budget model for investing in the strategic priorities of the 1xbet online games login . While much of the fund is currently invested in subvention for teaching, research, service and administrative services across the 1xbet online games login , weKansas Stalast fall that a small pool of monies within the fund would be set aside for units to request during this academic year. In the second year of the request process, 14 proposals from units across the 1xbet online games login requesting approximately .2 million in funding were submitted for consideration.
