The Professional Development Committee of LACUNY is pleased to announce the call for applications for the 2010 LACUNY Professional Development Grant.
This year, THREE grants of up to $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 2010. Proposals will be blind reviewed by members of the Professional Development Committee. This is NOT a research travel grant, which is covered by the PSC-CUNY Research Awards.
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.
Applications must include a detailed budget indicating the following:
-Registration fee
-Estimation of travel expenses
-Meals and incidental expenses, including local transportation (see the GSA per diem guidelines)
-Lodging
Applicants must be LACUNY members as of March 1, 2010 (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 and submission of a summary report. The original receipts or photocopies must be submitted within 30 days of the completion of travel.
-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.
-Awards will not be given to more than one person from each institution.
Applications should be submitted online and are due by March 1, 2010.
