Senator Boxer’s Grants Outreach Newsletter
May, 2009 The summary of federal funding announcements brought to you by the Office of U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer is a service that aims to advise Californians of various grant opportunities offered by federal grant-making agencies. The summary for May 2009 includes 39 new or updated opportunities in the following areas:
1. Agriculture 2. Arts 3. Education 4. Energy 5. Environment 6. Humanities 7. Health 8. Housing 9. Justice 10. State 11. Transportation
Earlier this year, President Obama signed into law H.R. 1, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. This new legislation is leading to an increased amount of funding among some of our nation’s federal grant-making agencies. We encourage you to visit to the Grants Assistance section of Senator Boxer’s website (http://boxer.senate.gov/grants_assistance/fedfunding.cfm) to learn the latest news regarding such funding opportunities. In addition, to search specifically for Recovery Act Funding opportunities, you may visit the following section of the grants.gov website: http://www.grants.gov/applicants/recovery.jsp. Since not all federal grant-making agencies list grant opportunities each month, constituents are encouraged to visit grants.gov, the federal grants web site that allows users to electronically find and apply for current competitive grant opportunities from all 26 federal grant-making agencies. In addition, users may sign up for email updates to receive new grant postings via email as soon as they become available. Guide deadlines and guidelines may change. Please check with the awarding agency before applying.
