Hello DSpace Community, We are thrilled to announce that the 2021 LYRASIS Catalyst Fund <https://www.lyrasis.org/Leadership/Pages/Catalyst-Fund.aspx> application cycle is now open and we are accepting proposals and ideas through February 19. The Catalyst Fund is an award program to test and try new ideas and innovative projects submitted by LYRASIS members. 2021 applications will be reviewed by librarians, archivists, and museum professionals during March and April with recipients announced in June 2021. Only LYRASIS Members <https://www.lyrasis.org/membership/Pages/Our-Members.aspx> may apply for the Catalyst Fund. Not a member? Ask us <[email protected]> how to join today.
*Thematic Track for Consideration * This year, in addition to our general call for proposals, the Catalyst Fund is piloting a new thematic track and welcoming applications focused specifically in Open Source Software (OSS). The OSS track will look for projects to help the advancement, evolution, expansion, and/or application of OSS to provide innovation solutions for the LYRASIS community. *Please note*: Not all applications need to address this theme, but funds have been reserved specifically for those that do. *Click * <https://www.lyrasis.org/Leadership/Pages/Catalyst-Fund-More%20Info.aspx>to view the criteria used by the Leaders Circle for consideration and selection of projects to fund. *Wish to know more?* Review a recording of Catalyst Fund: The Application Process & Overview Webinar <http://lyrasis.adobeconnect.com/paokaatrc8tp/>. The program managers, Our hosts, Leigh Grinstead <[email protected]> and Sandy Nyberg <[email protected]>, are also available in case you have any additional questions or concerns.
