This grant round is expected to be highly competitive; partial funding awards are likely. To learn more, applicants must send a representative to attend a mandatory zoom workshop on Wednesday, September 21 at 3 p.m. Please send an e-mail to [email protected] to register, to discuss your project, to ask questions, or for more information!
