The VRAF has created its first grant devoted to Professional

attendance at the VRA Annual Conference in Atlanta, March 2010. In
subsequent years the grant will be open to support attendance at a
variety of professional development venues such as other association
conferences, symposia and workshops.
The grant is open to professionals, including retirees and those
currently unemployed, and students seeking educational, training, and
research opportunities in support of broad access to cultural
information. This is an open grant and membership in the VRA is not
required. The applicant’s stated financial need will be considered and
other applications for funding for the same event or project must be
disclosed by the applicant. Award monies may be used for:
transportation, registration, lodging accommodations, meals, and

The VRAF Professional Development Grant is part of the Foundation's
mission to advance awareness of important issues for digital information
management; encourage the application of professional standards,
innovative technology, and metadata cataloging protocols; facilitate
workplace training; and promote awareness of intellectual property
rights and copyright issues. The VRAF supports a range of educational
offerings to help ensure that such information reaches a diverse and
global audience.
