2024 Delaware Environmental Monitoring Summit

BIL Funding and Beyond

You are invited to attend the 2024 Delaware Environmental Monitoring Summit. This year’s theme “BIL Funding and Beyond” will be centered around highlighting the great environmental monitoring work being done across the State/Regionally where the influx of Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) and/or American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds have contributed to new or existing efforts. Additionally, we are looking to highlight any collaborative funding efforts across agencies and potentially bring in some subject matter experts to share tips and tricks when pursuing nontraditional funding sources. The Summit will include several oral presentation sessions, as well as a poster session for students, and plenty of networking opportunities over refreshments and lunch.
