Re: F&A Calculation Question Ericson-West, Susan 14 Nov 2008 11:34 EST

I have been trying to subscribe to the NCURA list serves for some time
now, and every time I go to the "Subscribe to list-serv" web page, it is
perpetually "under construction".  Does any one have any other ideas as
to how I might be able to subscribe to the PUI and pre-award list servs?

Many thanks --

That would be great.  I just became a member of NCURA, so I will check
the website for those listservs also.  Thank you for sharing!
