Public Information and Education Mini-Grant Awards
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
The Nebraska Academy of Sciences (NAS) has formally managed the Public Information and Education (PIE) mini grant program on behalf of the Nebraska Environmental Trust (NET). NET has recently made some changes to their policies and procedures which now affects how the PIE Grant program will operate and its available funding. Due to these changes, the PIE Grant program will need to refrain from awarding new contracts at this time. The NAS board would like to apologize for the time and effort put into your recent application that will now have to be postponed until further notice. NAS is actively searching for alternate funding opportunities, so that we can continue to help support these important community projects!
