Excellence in Extension Grant
Formerly called the Extension 2000 Grant, the Excellence in Extension Grant provides seed money for programs designed to enhance the well being of families, to support the work of the Association, and to expand the Cooperative Extension program efforts. Creative and innovative Cooperative Extension research, demonstration, or staff development proposals that address both the current and relevant issues in AAFCS or Extension are invited. Proposals must address how the project contributes to increasing public knowledge of family and consumer sciences and its value to society; and expanding the body of knowledge related to family and consumer sciences.
- Deadline for receipt of nomiation materials for the Excellence in Extension Grant is January 16, 2009.
