The Visual Resources Association Foundation (VRAF) is pleased to announce that it is accepting applications for its VRAF Professional Development Grant program. This program offers two $850 grants yearly, one with a fall deadline and another in the spring. The purpose of the Grant is to support professional development in the field of visual resources and cultural heritage information management. Grant funds can be used to participate in a professional development opportunity of the grantee’s choosing (e.g., conference, symposium, workshop, online education), or to enroll in relevant research activities (e.g., hands-on field work or a site visit for scholarly purposes). 

For consideration, please submit your spring grant application https://tinyurl.com/k6ylket  no later than April 14, 2017.

If you have any questions about the VRAF Professional Development Grant or the application process, please contact Betha Whitlow [log in to unmask], VRAF Board of Directors.

The recipient of the spring 2017 VRAF Professional Development Grant will be announced no later than May 1, 2017, and the award money must be used within one year of that date.

Please visit the VRAF’s website for a full description of the grant, including eligibility, acceptable uses of funds, and a complete list of past recipients.  Feel free to share this announcement with other interested parties.
