Upcoming Application
Deadline for the InULA Research Incentive
Fund
The InULA Research
Incentive Fund is intended to encourage and
support research by providing funding for research
projects of any size or scope. All
applications will be considered on their
merits. In the case of equally meritorious
proposals, those of the non-tenured librarians may
be given priority, because it is often difficult
for beginning researchers to obtain research
grants. The guidelines, application, and
other information may be found at: http:///www.indiana.edu/~inula/opportunities/index.html.
Applications for InULA Research Incentive
funds to support research, professional
development, or service are due on January
15. Applications are reviewed after the
deadline by the InULA Grants and Scholarship
Committee and recommendations made to the
Executive Board for approval and funding.
Notice of awards is provided to the applicants as
soon as possible.
