Federal Funding Forum
Wednesday December 11, 2024 3:45pm - 5:00pm MST
Akimel 2
We may not be able to show you the money, but we'll put you in the room with some of the top federal programs that have it for our community. This forum over the course of the afternoon will provide two different ways to learn more about programs and whether they’re a good fit for your needs. Representatives from several agencies and programs will each provide 15-minute presentations about their programs. Additionally, you can sit down for a one-on-one conversation with federal agency funders for more detailed questions and guidance. With a chance for direct engagement with the right people, you'll leave this session smarter for your next proposal writing effort.

Presentations during the second Federal Funding Forum session (3:45 - 5:00 pm):
Economic Development Administration -- Public Works & Economic Adjustment: 3:45 - 4:00 pm
Small Business Administration -- Growth Accelerator Fund Competition: 4:00 - 4:15 pm
National Science Foundation -- Directorate for Technology, Innovation and Partnerships: 4:15 - 4:30 pm
Department of Agriculture -- Rural Development Energy: 4:30 - 4:45 pm

Please note that the Forum will concurrently take place in two rooms:
Federal Funding Forum presentations-- Akimel 2

* This session is supported by the TBED Community of Practice. See https://ssti.org/tbedcop for more information.
