Dear VRA and ARLIS friends:

2015-2016 VRA Foundation Project Grant Program

Extended Deadline:  December 2, 2015

The Visual Resources Association Foundation (VRAF) is pleased to announce that the application period for its next round of Project Grants is now open. This program provides support for projects that reflect the VRA Foundation mission to advance education, research, and outreach in the field of visual resources and image management. 

Two grants are available in the fall 2015 cycle with up to $1,500 awarded per grant. The funds may be used for stand-alone projects, pilots or start-up financing for larger projects, or for a significant component of a larger project. Collaborative projects and those proposed by groups, whether or not affiliated with an organization or institution, are encouraged. Of particular interest are innovative projects with results that can have broad impact and be shared with the global community. Categories to be considered for funding include, but are not necessarily limited to, the following: 

Image Cataloging and Metadata

Data Standards

Digital Archives

Digitization Projects of Special and/or Unique Collections (Educational Institutions, Libraries, Museums)
