2020 VRA Foundation Project Grant: Call for Applications
Deadline: May 15, 2020
The Visual Resources Association Foundation (VRAF) 2020 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 2020 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. Due to the Coronavirus, we encourage applicants to submit proposals that can be accomplished remotely.
Categories to be considered for funding include, but are not necessarily limited to, the following:
Metadata for Visual Media
Visual Media Cataloguing Standards
Visual Media Data Standards
Digitization Projects of Special or Unique Collections (Educational Institutions, Libraries, Museums)
Visual Literacy
Technology Development for Visual Media Management and Pedagogy
Intellectual Property Rights
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
the Visual Resources Association Foundation website at: https://vrafoundation.org/grants/project-grant/
The
VRA Foundation has United States Internal Revenue Service status as a
501(c) 3 non-profit entity. All elements of a proposed project must be
performed within the legal parameters of United States local, regional,
and federal government requirements. International applications are
welcome from institutions or individuals provided applicant institutions
have the equivalent of US non-profit status, and applicant individuals
have a similar non-profit, educational purpose.
