The Department of Natural Resources is offering this grant to advance the application of Rare Earth Element (REE) Analysis. This initiative aims to leverage REE analysis as a powerful tool across multiple critical areas. Specifically, the grant will support its integration into law enforcement efforts to combat illegal activities related to fossil resources. Furthermore, it will fund programs dedicated to public education, raising awareness about the importance of fossil resource preservation and the role of scientific techniques like REE analysis in achieving this. The overarching goal is to enhance comprehensive resource protection strategies, ensuring the sustainability and safeguarding of valuable fossil resources through innovative analytical methods. This includes developing new methodologies and applying existing ones more effectively.
