Funding Frequency Policy: If you received a grant of $10,000 or $15,000 in 2024, you are ineligible to apply for a competitive grant in 2025. We look forward to an application in 2026. If you applied for a grant in 2024 and did not receive funding or received a participation grant, you are eligible to apply in 2025.
