2009 Extension Risk Management Education Grants Program

The Northeast Center for Risk Management Education (Northeast Center), in conjunction with the North Central, Southern and Western regional Centers, announces the availability of grant funds and requests the submission of applications. Awards will fund 18-month projects conducted between July 1, 2009 and December 31, 2010. The application process is conducted in two stages:

Stage One of the application process requires the completion of a Pre-Proposal – a short application that must be completed online.

Stage Two of the application process applies only to proposals selected to submit a full application. The information in the Pre-Proposal becomes part of the Full Proposal Application and need not be entered a second time. Finalists chosen to submit a complete application will be selected and notified by February 2, 2009.
