Application Tip #45
Can I apply for conference funding to support our annual association's meeting?

No, grants can be made for specific projects only; they cannot be made to institutions or be used for annual meetings of societies or solely to finance publications. Projects to be funded must be of limited duration, have a clearly defined goal, and, as a general rule, must be carried out within the applicable calendar year.
