This is not normally done under my area.  However, I started as a
student assistant helping to copy and disseminate all of that
information.  It's come a long way since then.  Now we use a monthly
newsletter that is sent either by e-mail, hardcopy, or posted on our
website based on the faculty member's preference.  It contains general
information on the various funding opportunities available (some with
links to agency information sites).  Usually if a faculty member is
interested they can use a response sheet to request more information
about a specific program or use the link to get more direct
information.   Of course, we have a very dedicated person to direct that
operation and a couple of part-time student assistants to help.
Overall, it helped to reduce the number of wasted copies of information
sent out, reduced the number of hardcopies of the newsletter needed, and
ultimately got more information to the faculty quicker than before.
This method is not without problems, since it is restricted by the
availability and use of technological resources by faculty members,
especially after they have become accustomed to the standard hardcopy.
