R3C Mini-grant Program

The Rutgers Raritan River Consortium (R3C) Mini-grant Program encourages and supports collaboration between Rutgers affiliates and stakeholders throughout the Raritan basin to address research, teaching, public information, and planning needs and to promote best management practices for a more sustainable Raritan River, basin and bay. A further purpose of the mini-grant program is to encourage Rutgers faculty, staff and students to partner with stakeholders from across the Raritan region to advance cooperative watershed planning for a healthier Raritan.
