Leopold Center Grant Manual
The Leopold Center Grant Manual, revised in December
2005, contains useful information for organizations that are either
interested in working with the Leopold Center as a partner in future
projects, or currently are conducting research, education and demonstration
projects through the Leopold Center's competitive grant program or research
initiatives. The grant manual summarizes policies that may be of
particular interest to organizations negotiating their participation in the
Leopold Center grant program. The manual also outlines procedures
necessary to apply for, conduct, change, continue and close out grants from
the Leopold Center, and contains sample documents in the grant award
process.
You can download the 49-page document as a PDF, or browse
