Funding Opportunities
NN/LM GMR Funding Opportunities
The GMR provides funding for network members to assist them in conducting outreach and technology projects. Funding is at two levels: awards and subcontracts. The Current Calls for Applications and Requests for Proposals page shows funding amount, eligibility, availability and deadline for each of the awards and subcontracts. See the individual Call for Applications (CFAs) and Request for Proposals (RFPs) linked at left for details about a given award or subcontract.
The GMR occasionally funds special projects that do not fall within the scope of our established awards programs. If you have a project that relates to the mission of NN/LM, but is not addressed by one of our awards or subcontracts, please contact us. For examples of such previously funded projects, please see: Special Award - Recipients.
Sometimes additional funds are available near the end of the contract year. Please contact the GMR office for further information.
