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

start of the granting period, and $1500 pending the submission of a mid-project 
progress report. A final report, including a financial statement, on how the 
funds contributed to the project is due within one month of the project's 
completion. Failure to complete the proposed project may result in the grantee 
returning the funds.
