Time to apply for SCGCP Mini Grants
Applications for the SouthCentral Girls Collaborative Project Mini-Grants are now being accepted. $1,000 mini-grants will be awarded to a minimum of 25 girl-serving STEM programs (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) in 5-state area to support collaborative projects that encourage girls in STEM activities.
There are a few requirements to get funding. Two or more organizations must collaborate on the grant activities to be considered for funding. Additionally, each of the organizations that are applying for a mini-grant must be registered in the Program Guide. Organizations don't have to have 501(3)c status. The short two-page application which includes a budget of expected expenses is found on grants/applications/.
The second group of mini-grants awarded will be for projects during the summer or early fall. Phase two applications are due April 6, 2006, with award notification on April 15, 2006.
Report from the first Forum
The first Forum of the SouthCentral Girls Collaborative was held on Friday, Feb. 24, 2006, at University of North Texas Union, Denton Texas. Twenty-six Collaborative members attended the Forum. Three facilitators from the Collaborative Work Systems Design Group provided a highly interactive, informative, and productive session. To read more about the Forum and the outputs from it, go to events/forum1_overview/. If you have suggestions for other topics, or possible speakers for the three suggested topics, please send an email to Martha Peet.
SCGCP Web Site
We have a new look to the SCGCP Website, http://www.tcet.unt.edu/scgcp/, and two new resources. We have added a discussion board. http://www.tcet.unt.edu/scgcp/forum/. I have put up a question about the Collaboratives mission statement. Take a few minutes and visit the discussion board and add your input to the board.
We have also added a place to share your bookmarks with others, resources/bookmarks/. You have to login to add bookmarks, but you can browse anytime. Please share your favorite resources.
