NIH Business System Enters Key Phase |
|
On June 4, the NIH Business System launches a major new phase. Sure, you've already seen bits and pieces of its new look and new functions-preparing NIH'ers to travel on business changed several years ago, for example. The next NBS rollout-

"This is another rendition of 'Stump the Chump,'" Tierney joked, referring to a Q&A game played on NPR's show Car Talk.
