    Funding Announcements is not meant to be a one-stop-shop for funding sources; rather, it represents a selection of current funding opportunities that may be of interest to faculty, administrators, and staff at UNL. Additional funding opportunities may be found at Grants.gov. Grants.gov is the single access point for individuals to search competitive funding opportunities from more than 1,000 grant programs offered by the 26 federal grant-making agencies.
