2019 VRA Foundation Project Grant: Call for Applications
Deadline Extended to: May 10, 2019
The Visual Resources Association Foundation (VRAF) 2019 Project Grant application period is now open. This grant program supports projects which reflect the VRA Foundation’s mission to advance education, research, and outreach in the field of visual resources and image management.
A
single grant is available during the spring 2019 cycle with up to $3000
to be awarded. This funding may be used for a stand-alone project, a
pilot or start-up financing for a larger project, or for a significant
component of a larger project. In general, collaborative projects and
those proposed by groups, whether or not affiliated with an organization or institution, are encouraged. In addition, innovative projects that result in a broader
impact and be shared throughout the global community are of particular
interest. Categories to be considered for funding include, but are not
necessarily limited to, the following:
The project must be completed within one year from the time the grant is formally accepted. The grant will be disbursed in two increments: $1500 at the start of the granting period, and $1500 pending the submission of a mid-project progress report. A final report, including a financial statement, on how the funds contributed to the project is due within one month of the project's completion. Failure to complete the proposed project may result in the grantee returning the funds.
More information about the Project Grants,
including the application form and previous recipients, can be found on
