CRCPD is reviving the mini-grant project, offering funds to a local partner designated by the state radon program to receive from $ $ 500 to $5,000 dollars to conduct a radon project. The application process includes a brief proposal and short application form, which are due on October 7, 2011. The announcement and application package with all the details was emailed to State Radon Program Contacts on August 16, 2011. A completed report on the project outcome and expenditures is a requirement at the project’s completion. Checks are awarded directly to the partner applicant.
The mini-grants project is CRCPD’s response to concerns voiced over the years by many state radon programs that have identified lack of staff, time and resources as key difficulties in running their state’s radon program and the difficulty of partnering with a local organization on a small innovative project because of the excessive paperwork required by their state accounting office.
