*2017 VRA Foundation Project Grant Program*



Deadline:  February 24, 2017



The Visual Resources Association Foundation (VRAF) announces that its next
Project Grant application period is now open. This program provides support
for a significant project which reflects 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 2017 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 with results
that can have broad impact and be shared throughout the global community
are of particular interest.  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
