UALR’s Sustainability Committee recently announced a new small grants competition that will fund projects that enhance sustainability-related curriculum and research at the University.

Projects may involve the development of new sustainability-related courses, substantially enrich existing courses with sustainability topics, or incorporate sustainability into research activities at UALR.

All full-time and part-time UALR faculty and instructors are encouraged to apply. Up to four awards of $500 or less are available, and proposals must demonstrate how the project will promote sustainability or sustainability education at UALR.

More information including the application form is available at the UALR Sustainability website (https://ualr.edu/sustainability). Projects are to be carried out during the spring 2010 semester.

The deadline for applications is Friday, January 15, 2010 at 5:00 pm. For more information about the competition, guidelines, or applications, contact Jamey Jones at the Department of Earth Sciences, at 501-683-7743 or jvjones@ualr.edu.
