The Rural Futures Institute is now accepting applications for the fourth round of RFI Competitive Awards. The institute is seeking research and teaching ideas that can have an impact on rural people and places.<\/p>\n

There are two types of awards:<\/p>\n

Research & Engagement – Submission deadline: March 15<\/b>
\nThe purpose of the RFI Research & Engagement Award is to foster the development of research and engagement work that addresses critical challenges and opportunities facing rural areas. These awards are to function as “seed grants” that are designed to lay the foundation for larger requests to funding sources external to the University of Nebraska. <\/p>\n

Teaching & Engagement: Submission deadline: March 1<\/b>
\nThe purpose of the RFI Teaching & Engagement Award is to foster the development of teaching and engagement work that establishes a tradition of faculty-led community engagement and service learning programming. The award program particularly encourages the development of civic engagement in both students and community partners and encourages college student involvement in providing services to meet the community’s needs.<\/p>\n

Timelines for both programs and the full RFPs can be found on the RFI website<\/a>. Proposal submission instructions are included in the RFPs.<\/p>\n

The institute is looking for bold, innovative and transdisciplinary project ideas. If needed, the institute will provide assistance in identifying potential partners.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
