> in the field of visual resources and image management that are consonant with
> the VRA Foundation mission.
> Two grants are available in the fall 2013 cycle with up to $1,500 to be
> awarded per grant. The funds may be used for stand-alone projects, pilots or
> start-up financing for larger projects, or for a significant component of a
> larger project. Collaborative projects and those proposed by groups, whether
> or not affiliated with an organization or institution, are encouraged. Of
> particular interest are innovative projects with results that can have broad
> impact and be shared with the global community. Categories to be considered
> for funding would include, but not necessarily be limited to, the following:
> Image Cataloging and Metadata
>
> Data Standards
>
> Digital Archives
>
> Digitization Projects of Special and/or Unique Collections (Educational
> Institutions, Libraries, Museums)

> Visual Literacy

> The Foundation reviews and selects projects for funding in the Fall. The
> exact dates are published with each request for proposals. The deadline for
> the Fall 2013 review is October 30, 2013. Awards will be announced by
> December 11, 2013.
