Space Survey: The university’s FY 2023 Annual Validation Survey is now open. ASRSP partners with Facilities to conduct and analyze this report, which directly impacts the F&A rate.

The survey is open until October 6th though units may have earlier internal deadlines.

o	For invoices, the award/project/invoice number
