The University of Nebraska Medical Center has awarded 27 small community grants to fund projects aimed at improving community health and introducing Nebraska youth to health care careers. The grants were awarded through UNMC\u2019s Rural Health Education Network (RHEN) Office, the Central Nebraska Area Health Education Center (CN-AHEC), and the Northern Nebraska Area Health Education Center (NNAHEC).<\/DIV>
\n
 <\/DIV>
\n
The small community grant program was started in 1998 by Roxanna Jokela, director of RHEN. \u201cAs I traveled across Nebraska, people kept telling me about their ideas to introduce local students to health care careers,\u201d Jokela said. \u201cOver and over, I kept hearing that no one had any money available in their budgets to support these types of programs. We decided to make funds available so Nebraska communities could develop programs to benefit their local areas.\u201d<\/DIV>
\n
 <\/DIV>
\n
To be considered for funding, the applicant agency must partner with at least one additional organization\/institution. \u201cFor example, we encourage schools and local heath care providers to develop programs together,\u201d Jokela said. \u201cEveryone benefits when partnerships develop at the local level.\u201d<\/DIV>
\n
 <\/DIV>
\n
The creation of Nebraska\u2019s AHECs makes it possible to increase the number of grants awarded. The Nebraska Panhandle AHEC (NP-AHEC) is currently seeking additional requests for community grant projects in the 14 counties located in the panhandle of Nebraska. April 29 is the deadline to submit applications. For more information, contact NP-AHEC executive director, Dr. William Zitterkopf, at (308) 635-6713.  <\/DIV>
