[Libs-Or] Citizen Science Month Mini Grant opportunity for libraries - due March 5th

[BERGQUIST Greta * SLO]

Hello everyone,

I just learned about an opportunity for lots of you – the National Library of Medicine is offering $5000 grants to public, school, and/or academic libraries to support citizen science during April 2021, Citizen Science month. This is a tight turnaround but I know many of you are already doing things like science demo recordings that go along with take and make kits, and here’s an opportunity to keep funding those! The application is pretty short and the three questions about what you’ll do with the money allow for less than 100 characters, so this would also be great if you’re a person who’s been scared off by long and cumbersome applications. 😊

If you have questions, there are two information sessions coming up Feb 25th and March 4th - more info about the grant application is here<https://blog.scistarter.org/2021/02/national-library-of-medicine-citizen-science-month-mini-grant-application/>.  Here is more info about Citizen Science month<https://scistarter.org/citizensciencemonth> and excellent resources for libraries and STEM programming are here<https://scistarter.org/library-resources>. If your library did Leap Into Science and is looking for more, check this out!

Best,

Greta
