NSIIC Announces Third Round of Sheep and Goat Grant Initiatives

Oct. 2003 -- The National Sheep Industry Improvement Center recently announced for the third consecutive year the availability of $300,000 in competitive grants through the Sheep and Goat Industry Grant Initiative (SGIGI).

The details of the program were published in the Aug. 18, 2003, edition of the Federal Register and can be accessed via the Internet at http://a257.g.akamaitech.net/7/257/2422/14mar20010800/edocket.access.gpo.gov/2003/03-20961.htm

The program will be run similar to that of last year.

Over the last two years, the NSIIC board of directors has funded 17 proposals. The primary objective of these grants is to fund a diversity of projects that will benefit the U.S. sheep and goat industries at the regional, national or international level.
