2018 Support for Excellence Mini-Grant Pilot Project

Why are these mini-grant being made available?
-These grants were created to support new outreach projects and encourage TEMG groups to 'think outside the box' as they engage with and educate thier communities. These grants will work in tandem with our state Search for Excellent awards. The SFE awards recognize current outstanding outreach, and these grants are intended to support the development fo new and novel outreach.
- They will focus on areas where we have few SFE applications: 1) Projects reaching underserved audiences, and 2) Research and citizen science projects.

- Get all the details on applications in this file:
