There is still time to apply for a Professional Development Grant!
Posted by Anne Leonard on March 9, 2009
The deadline for LACUNY Professional Development Grants is next Wednesday, March 18!
TWO grants of $500 each will be awarded to full LACUNY members who are library faculty for the purpose of attending library-related conferences or meetings that take place after mid-March 2009. Proposals will be blind-reviewed by members of the Professional Development Committee. Awards will not be given to more than one person from each institution. This is NOT a research travel grant, which is covered by the PSC-CUNY Research Awards. Visit the LACUNY website for complete grant information and an application.
The grant applications will be evaluated on the following criteria:
How the member’s attendance furthers the association’s mission, or contributes to areas of special focus within CUNY libraries, or explores new trends in the field
AND how well these ideas are communicated to the reviewers.
Applicants must be LACUNY members as of March 18, 2009 (Paypal or checks received, not postmarked).
- The Grant funds will be disbursed by the LACUNY Treasurer upon submission of receipts in the amount of the grant.
- Awardees will submit a summary report to the Professional Development Committee, which will appear on the Committee’s website and will be published in LACUNY’s News from CUNY Libraries.
- Activities and/or publications supported will credit “LACUNY Grant for Professional Development.”
- Past Grant Awardees are not eligible.
