I just found out today that CARES will also receive an Honorable Mention Award for Bears Breaking Boundaries 2009 - Curricular Innovation contest.
I submitted a CARES grant that would establish a community service learning project between UC Berkeley and the Pinoleville Pomo Nation to work on renewable energy technologies.
Competition was rather stiff, but the email I got says "We hope that we can support your project if you continue to pursue it in the coming year. Please also consider re-submitting it to Bears Breaking Boundaries next year."
My answer: You darn skippy CARES will be entering again next year!!
CARES still might win the CITRIS Big Ideas grant though. I will let you know happens next Wednesday after I present to the judges.
