Prescott Grant Emergency Award Submission
What is considered an "emergency" award?
A portion of funds is available to make emergency assistance available for catastrophic stranding events throughout the year on an as-needed basis. Responders to such stranding events should immediately contact their Regional Office.
How do I apply for emergency funds?
If you need emergency assistance funding, please follow the requirements for submitting proposals under the emergency assistance component of the 2012 Prescott Grant Program described in Full Funding Opportunity [pdf].
