Check out the United States Senate's Committee on Armed Services FY 2024 National Defense Authorization Act Executive Summary. This is an opportunity to get a peek into the budget priorities for the United States Department of Defense in the next fiscal year. This is a worthwhile read for the University of Pittsburgh research community that engages or wants to engage the United States Department of Defense for research dollars.
