Kelsey Kane, a student in last semester’s PLS315 Federalism and Intergovernmental Relations course, identified a funding source for her class grant project to fund equipment and training for an animal response team in Independence, MO. Using the funding source identified by Ms. Kane, Dr. David Johnson applied for a grant for the Greene County Office of Emergency Management Animal Response Team (ART). The ART was awarded $5,000 from the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals to purchase animal rescue supplies and equipment to aid pets during a disaster.
