IAMSLIC Grants
IAMSLIC grants for travel support and project-related funding are now
administered primarily by the Regional Groups. However, the IAMSLIC
Executive Board will still issue a call for grant proposals once per
year. Grant proposals will be accepted from members not affiliated with a
regional group (project proposals or travel support requests), and from members
seeking support from the Guin Fund to attend the annual IAMSLIC conference.
