  • Proposals (5/8/08): All 2008 funds have been expended, and we do not anticipate having more funding until early next year. If you've started a proposal already, you may go ahead and submit it; we will hold it until we have funds. Please contact the Outreach Program Manager, Vickie Johnson, if you have any questions.
