[Community_garden] Funding Opportunity REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS - for physical activity and nutrition research projects

[Pauline Tessier]

Hi Steve,

What would be the minimum amount national grant that you would bid for.  
  I have wondered how it is worthwhile to go after some of the tiny  
grants that I see.  I have never written a grant; but, have looked into  
it a bit.

Thanks,

Pauline
