The purpose of this one-year funding opportunity is to increase the number of qualified nursing faculty by providing funding to accredited schools of nursing to offer loans to students in advanced education nursing degree programs who are committed to become nurse faculty. In exchange for full-time, post-graduation employment as nurse faculty, the program authorizes cancellation of up to 85 percent of any such loan (plus interest thereon).

The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) is seeking to enter into a Cooperative Agreement with a U.S. Regional Arts Organization (RAO) that will administer the 2019-2020 cycle of the NEA Big Read program. The NEA Big Read is a community reading program that broadens our understanding of the world, communities, and ourselves through the joy of sharing a good book.

The Global Equality Fund (GEF), managed by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor (DRL) announces a Request for Statements of Interest (SOIs) from civil society to promote and protect the human rights of LGBTI persons. LGBTI persons face violence and discrimination in all regions. Violence targeting any vulnerable group undermines collective security. This request is seeking creative and new ideas to address violence and discrimination targeting LGBTI persons, which undermine society’s collective security, and programs that provide LGBTI communities with the tools to prevent, mitigate and recover from violence.

  1. I would like to provide new business start up consulting for veterans. Since I am and individual, who has great experience in business, I can help many veterans develop a future. As a combat veteran of Viet Nam, who has experience with PTSD, and continues to sturggle, and at age 68 years, over 40 years of business experience, and last of all a desire to continue to use my knowledge to help others I am asking you to assist me financially with that effort which I believe is very needed. I do not understand the government systems, therefore I feel really limited on how to ask for help. For that reason, I am asking for assistance. Can you the government help me find a grant that would assist me in helping other combat veterans adjust and get a new start in a world that can be or seem to be very distant, unwelcoming, disinterested. In a way, this will also help me heal my own emotional wounds be finding a new purpose, new productivity for my self.
    I can be reached at 847-373-9514.
