This week’s grant listings number: $2.5 billion.

Seventeen new grant opportunities this week to fill out what’s an otherwise quiet time for federal grant funding.

On the state side, there are EV infrastructure dollars in Minnesota, a quantum computing opportunity in California, and another California grant focused on housing with some workforce elements.

On the federal side, things are lighter as we barrel toward the end of the fiscal year. That said, if you train people for jobs that involve museums and libraries, this is your week.

Excuse me.

Thank you. The Institute of Museum and Library Services—which I believe is still led by the… likely next Secretary of Library, Keith Sonderling—published a bunch of grants at once this week, almost all of them involving a workforce element or two. There also are more USDA dollars for colleges to train up future workers in the space.
