Dear Colleagues

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has become the most recent grant-making organization to require recipients to make findings publicly available, a further shift toward transparency in research funding. Hoping that other funders (incl. African & SA funders will soon follow). Please share with research offices and researchers, who make use of these grants. Thank you ….
