If you have considered a USDA Wood Innovations grant application in the past, this is very similar – just not wood specific.
FYI USDA Wood Innovations will be opening during National Forest Products Week, the third week of October – stay tuned for more information.
If you have any questions about either opportunity please do not hesitate to reach out!
