FY23 congressional community project funding

This Project Grant award of $650,000 was provided by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) under the Congressional Grants program (CFDA 59.059). The funding will support small business development and entrepreneurship initiatives at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), including programmatic and construction activities such as counseling, technical assistance, workforce training, education services, facility upgrades, and community economic development projects. UNLV, as the prime awardee, will deliver these services locally or regionally within the Las Vegas, NV area over a two-year period from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2025. The university frequently collaborates with other higher education institutions, research centers, community organizations, and industry partners as either the prime awardee or a sub-recipient on federal grant projects.
