WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF
GBCLA GRANTS?
Members of GBCLA are invited to
submit proposals for funding for
a professional development
opportunity. Grants are awarded
only for specific costs such as
conference registration fees,
travel, food, lodging, etc.
Grants may not be used to
reimburse members for their own
time spent working on a project.
HOW MUCH? HOW MANY?
Up to four grants of $500.00
will be available each year,
through grant rounds in the fall
and in the spring. Funds will
not roll over to the following
year if they are not used.
HOW DO I APPLY?
All grant proposals must be
submitted in writing to each
member of the grant committee by
the due dates listed below.
Members of the committee will
review the proposals and award
the grants at the November and
May meetings. GBCLA members may
apply for grants as often as
they wish, but priority will be
given to members who have not
received grants recently. Grant
committee members applying for
grants must recuse themselves
from deliberations for that
particular grants round.
WHAT MUST THE PROPOSAL
INCLUDE?
- Date of
submission
- Name
- School
- Title of
proposal
- Full
description of the proposal
(including published
information if relevant)
- Date of
proposal (if appropriate)
- Itemized list
of costs
- Does your
school have a faculty
development budget and are you
eligible?
- Does your
library budget provide for
conferences and enrichment?
WHAT ARE MY OBLIGATIONS
IF I RECEIVE A GRANT?
It is expected that members
that have been awarded grants
will present a half hour program
to all members at a CLA meeting
during the following year.
Included at this presentation
will be one or more of the
following: printed information
for members/demonstration/visual
presentation/materials or
resources for the GBCLA web
site.
In the event that a grant that
has been awarded cannot be used,
it is up to the members to
notify the chairs of the
committee before the end of the
school year so that another
proposal might be awarded.
Please also be aware that if you
apply for a grant that takes
place within the year and you
have prepaid costs, you may or
may not receive funding.
WHAT ARE THE CRITERIA
FOR A SUCCESSFUL PROPOSAL?
Proposals will be reviewed by
the grant committee with several
criteria in mind:
- How does this
proposal benefit all members
of CLA?
- How does the
proposal benefit the CLA grant
applicant?
- Does the
applicant’s school provide
funding for professional
development?
HOW AND WHEN DO I SEND
MY PROPOSAL?
Proposals must be sent via
email and are due by 9:00 AM on
November 9, 2011 for the FALL
grants round and by May 16, 2012
for the SPRING grants round to
the Chair of the Grants
Committee:
