is also encouraged on appropriate projects.

grants are as follows: Grants may be awarded to faculty researchers
from Florida's public and private universities and community
colleges. Other non-academic organizations are also eligible

significant Florida academic involvement. The grant program
sponsors reserve the right to reject any and all proposals.
