The April 2021 edition of RWFI E-Note Monthly is filled with updates on the latest opportunities to work with federal partners to jump-start community economic development efforts and establish strategies for revitalization and growth.

The newsletter’s “Funding Spotlight” explores the FY21 U.S. Economic Development Administration’s University Center Competition, which enables institutions of higher education to establish and operate university centers
specifically focused on using university assets to build regional economic ecosystems that support innovation
and high-growth entrepreneurship.

Another feature in this edition outlines how to apply for the U.S. Department of Energy traineeship in Accelerator Science and Engineering, which provides support to address critical, targeted workforce development needs in fields of interest that support the department’s mission. Information is also listed about programs to diversify the nation’s STEM (science, technology engineering and math) workforce.

Check out the new edition of RWFI E-Note Monthly today! Deadlines to apply for these programs and others are approaching quickly.
